OVERALL RATING
The follow-up analysis shows that the rating of the office has
gone up from 4.0 to 7.0. Kinnarps’ Next Office® workplace analysis
collects data that makes it easy to follow up on how different areas
are functioning.
The concept is coordinated through Kinnarps’
total solution, which takes into account the overall
ergonomics of the workplace. Height-adjustable
desks for work and meeting spaces make it easy
to switch between sitting and standing. The work-
stations have adjustable task chairs with the highest
level of ergonomics, providing each individual with
a good working position. The meeting spaces have
upholstered furnishings for good comfort even during
longer meetings. There are also stools among the
furnishings which offer more active sitting, and there
is an office gym with treadmills and desk bikes.
The positive change can be seen in the follow-up
analysis carried out with the help of Kinnarps when
the new office had been in use for about six months.
The employees’ ratings of the office and the new
way of working rose significantly. The rating of how
well the environment supports focused and creative
work nearly doubled – and the rating regarding
collaboration between departments rose by more
than 100 per cent!
