Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Plan and design alternative work environments with ease. More and more businesses are looking to redesign or re-engineer their existing workspaces to boost employee productivity and reduce, or contain, their corporate real estate holdings. New Workplaces for New Workstyles, by Marilyn Zelinsky, arms you with the instant expertise you need to grab your share of these fast-growing, lucrative interior design opportunities. It walks you step-by-step through every aspect of creating alternative work environments (AWEs)--from selling the concept of AWE to senior management of investing in the right technology and equipment to planning, designing and managing alternative offices. You get case studies of 27 major companies--including IBM, AT&T and Pacific Bell--that have implemented or are implementing AWEs. These real-world examples, floor plans, sample designs and how-to photos are a goldmine of ideas and inspiration for selecting the best AWE strategy for your needs...setting up onsite offices...equipping mobile and home offices...understanding corporate-culture issues like productivity, territoriality and employee interaction...dealing with traditional and new lasws and policies...and much more.
From the Author
I wrote this book because I sensed a surging interest in how and why the look, feel, and management of our corporate workplaces continue to change. I realized this interest when I wrote a column on home office design and alternative officing for Interiors Magazine. I found a mountain of overwhelming, confusing information, and realized the need for one comprehensive source with an index to which a design or facility professional could refer for helpful and insightful information on putting together an alternative officing program. I hope the book will become a reference, an inspiration, and a tool for you to use towards your own discoveries in planning, designing, and managing an alternative workplace.
