2:30 PM Case Study: Moving into an Open Plan Work Environment- Opportunities and Challenges
Five years ago, The Harry Perkins Institute moved from a siloed facility to a new, open plan facility. The design of the new facility was deliberately collaborative, but a jarring change for staff from the previous working environment. In this session Gwen will share the journey undergone by staff with you:
- Realising the potential of the new facility: how the open plan environment has benefitted productivity and the staff culture
- The biggest challenges faced by staff in adapting to the new environment and how these were overcome
- Reflections of the experience: potential strategies to manage change and improve the staff experience
