TenantSee Weekly: Pandora's Office:  Part II - The Psychology of Workspace

One of the positive outcomes emerging from a more holistic contemplation of work is a better understanding of how the behavioral and design elements of the workplace impact well-being, the psychology of the workplace.  Historically, the physical office and the culture that accompanied it, was largely a one-size fits all, top-down dictate that employees were not encouraged to question.  While this one-dimensional approach may have been easier to conceive, it had the detrimental effect of failing to adequately support some percentage (maybe a large percentage) of the employees.  But it’s a new day, a time when we have increased awareness of neurodiversity and sensory processing, an opportunity to provide optionality in support of the broad spectrum of employee (human) differences.  It’s a moment when we can more fully contemplate the psychology of the workplace.  Indeed, the more thoughtful we are in creating workplaces that cater to diverse employee needs, the better these environments will serve the organization.

TenantSee Weekly:  Pandora's Office: Part I - Cost vs. Value

In this first issue of our series, “Pandora’s Office”, we explore a fundamental paradigm. Cost. Expense.  Historically, for most companies, this has been among the top factors defining how office space was chosen.  In all be the rarefied air of tech and high finance, companies must generally be smart about allocating a portion of their budget to real estate spending.  But when the emphasis veers toward achieving the lowest possible cost, the result is often a suboptimal facility, an investment that yields a limited return.
