Presents a guide to the trends in office design today. This guide provides information to designers, managers, executives and real estate professionals on: sell the concept to senior management; deal with up-front technology expenditures; and more. The examples, plans of twenty major corporations provide reasoning behind the work environments. Get on top of the new wave in office design, and ride it to greater productivity. Alternative work environments (AWEs) are the newest direction in officing. They can increase productivity...reduce overhead...reduce commuting time...and allow greater flexibility and nterconnectedness. But if a company just leaps into the new workstyle without planning for all contingencies, its program may fail. Designers and facilities managers who are up-to-date and knowledgeable about AWEs can help them succeed instead. In New Workplaces for New Workstyles, Marilyn Zelinsky has written the only complete guide to designing alternative work environments whether telecommuting, hoteling, virtual officing, videoconferencing, or teaming. Step by step, she takes the designer or facilities manager through the process of deciding what their client or company needs, designing it, implementing it, and managing the result. From the first stage of getting the senior management to buy in to the concept, to deciding on technology expenditures and furniture, to handling the office politics with success, this one-of-a-kind resource is the only guide you need.
