Open-plan offices decrease face-to-face collaboration: study
I am not sure why employees would message and email more if they can just turn their chair around to chat about something they are working on.Does anyone have experience of this? I have worked in open plan offices since 1999 and I've never experienced productivity problems. If anything I'd expect working in a cube would lead to more time wasted cruising websites since your screen is more obscured. I dunno, I've only worked in cubes a handful of times.
