These days the most common work environment for company employees is an office cube. A bland space which employees endeavor to make their home away from home with pictures, keep sakes and other reminders of their family, and outside life. Office cubes are not the optimum environment but due to economies of space, thy are the best option available.
Some office cubes can be of a less private style with 4 foot walls which customer service departments often prefer. While these can Enable more over the all communication, they remove another level of self worth from the employee and seem to degrade the quality of work.
Then there is the alternative of crowding several people into a room in an effort to allow closer communication and more work output. This is a double edged sword which will invariably result in perhaps a greater volume of work output but output which is of less quality. Without the privacy and calm of their own individual workspaces which foster a deeper and more inciteful thought process the result of certain tasks is not as good.
I beleive that the full size cube is currently the best option and crowding more people in a closer working environment results in diminished productivity, lower morale of employees and in the long term, a hight turnover in staff.
