问答题 The eternal coffee break
Computers and electronic communications are allowing many people to use
their homes as offices. But offices will never disappear entirely. Instead, the
office of the future may become more like home AMERICAN
managers who want to get more out of their white- collar workforce will be in
for a shock if they seek advice from Frank Becker, a professor at Cornell
University who studies the pattern of office work. His advice: companies need to
devote more office space to creating places like well-tended living rooms, where
employees can sit around in comfort and chat. Mr Becker is one of a
group of academics and consultants trying to make companies more productive by
linking new office technology to a better understanding of how
employees work. The forecasts of a decade ago - that computers would in- crease
office productivity, reduce white-collar payrolls and help the re- maining staff
to work better - have proved much too hopeful. Mr Becker predicts that
the central office will become mainly a place where workers from satellite and
home-based offices meet to discuss ideas and to reaffirm their loyalty to fellow
employees and the company. This will require new thoughts about the layout of
office buildings. Now, spaces for copying machines, coffee rooms, meetings and
reception areas usually come second to the offices in which people spend most of
the day working. Mr Becker sees these common areas gradually becoming the heart
of an office. Managers, says Mr Becker, will also have to abandon
their long-cherished notion that a productive employee is an employee who can be
seen. Appearing on time and looking busy will soon become
irrelevant. Technology and new patterns of office use will make companies judge
people by what they do, not by where they spend their tirae. That does
not mean the end of the office, just its transformation into a social centre.
New ideas about offices are catching on elsewhere. Digital Equipment Corp's
subsidiary in Finland has equipped offices with reclining chairs and stuffed
sofas to make them more comfortable and conducive to informal conversations and
the swapping of ideas. Companies such as Apple and General Electric are
experimenting along similar lines. Steelcase, a manufacturer of office
furniture, is one of the firms keenest to experiment with new office layouts and
designs. The company's research centre in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a $1 lm
building completed in 1989. It is designed around a series of office
"neighbourhoods" that put market- ing, manufacturing and design people close to
each other so that they can find it easier to discuss ideas and solve problems.
Employees on different floors can see one another through glass, and easily go
from floor to floor via escalator. Top managers work in a cluster of
offices that are wrapped around an atrium in the middle of the building, rather
than occupying the usual suite of top-floor offices. They can see, and be seen,
by the people they manage. But, sometimes even the most communicative
employee just wants to be left alone.
