The main reason for this is that employer’s are recognizing the benefits of keeping the workforce happy as performance and productivity levels increase in conjunction employee satisfaction rates. You may think that perks such as monetary bonuses or extra annual leave are a top priority for most employees but studies have shown that a comfortable and effective working environment is high on the list for the majority. This is where the rise in popularity of collaborative huddle spaces has come from.

 

 

 

 

According to recent market trends identified by Frost & Sullivan, collaborative huddle spaces are projected to replace almost 70% of all meeting rooms by 2022. Most of the big tech giants around the world have collaborative huddle spaces littered all over their workplaces as they are the most cost effective way of utilizing every inch of space.

 

Here are some of the main reasons why collaborative huddle spaces are becoming so popular:

  1. Use of dormant space – Most companies have large entrance lobby’s or long hallways that are not being used to their full ability. That’s where these collaborative huddle spaces come in ideal to use up the space in an effective and efficient way for the workforce.
  2. Flexibility of working environments – The collaborative huddle spaces give employee’s the option to work from a different space depending on their needs and can provide an element of privacy or quiet area for those who work in open plan offices.

By installing collaborative huddle spaces around the building staff can easily and conveniently use one of these spaces to conduct a small meeting instead of booking out a large meeting room that could be used by a bigger team.
