Finding Flexibility: The Cornerstone of an Amenities-Driven Workspace

Workplace Flexibility

What does workplace flexibility mean to you? For some, it means working from home two days a week, while for others, having access to in-office cafés and collaborative spaces is ideal. However you define it, organizations across the globe have moved beyond just providing basic cubicles and cramped breakrooms. They’re creating dynamic spaces that consistently adapt and evolve. 

Driven by the increasing demand for personalized comfort, meaningful connection, and diverse schedules, smart amenities-driven workplaces now recognize that personal preferences matter. From ergonomic task chairs to versatile power modules to dynamic tables, flexibility creates a workplace that’s industrious and intuitive.

A New Perspective

The office dynamic has evolved, both functionally and aesthetically. While traditional workstations are necessary, busy people have begun to seek out “sanctuaries”—think cozy touchdown hubs and smaller meeting environments —to fuel their focus and creativity.

HON’s Preside Table Collection is a prime example of innovative surface solutions designed for agile workplaces. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes—plus convenient wire management, optional integrated power, and contemporary base choices—Preside is versatile enough for open collaborative spaces, meeting rooms, and even cafés.

Look for Preside to put connection and flexibility into perspective with new top shapes this October. Designed to accommodate in-person and virtual meeting participants, these thoughtful tables are considerate of diverse vantage points and physical locations, making it an ideal choice for hybrid spaces.

We’ve Got Your Back

Busy people never stay in one place—employees have embraced a culture of migration. While the morning might be spent in the office café collaborating with co-workers, the afternoon could be spent at a personal workstation for heads down focus. These environments have markable differences, and seating must be curated for each unique space.

HON Cliq stools are ideal for versatile offices. With convenient height-adjustability and intuitive, weight-activated control capabilities, Cliq ensures that employees can easily adapt their seating to various tasks and workstations throughout the day. With a contoured seat cushion and an adjustable footrest ring, this clever co-worker provides optimal support for everything from solo project planning to coffee with a favorite team member.

While crossing t’s and dotting i’s on soft seating in the lounge is a welcome breath of fresh air, we still have to perch at our workstations once in a while. Whether you have a private office or work in an open collaborative space, your task chair must consider enduring ergonomics, breathable comfort, optimized controls, personal style. Tall order, indeed.

That’s why we decided to put science in seating.

Nucleus is seating driven by superior engineering and personalized comfort. Thoroughly evaluated with thoughtful pressure mapping, this collection's unique hammock seat design ensures even weight distribution, redefining the way you sit. With suspended knit fibers stretched over a contoured metal wire frame and a light foam molded over the top, Nucleus’s seat ensures all-day comfort and exceptional support.

The Power of Connection

It’s happened to the best of us: A three-hour layover at the airport, a dying phone, and no charging station in sight. It’s a sinking feeling when you realize your connection to the outside world is non-existent.

While that’s bad enough on the road, inconvenient access to connectivity in the office is truly a disaster. Meetings aren’t always in person anymore—with hybrid and remote employment, we’re doing business in a whole new way. Ensuring employees have easy access to USB ports and power modules almost anywhere in the building has become paramount.

HON's power modules integrate seamlessly into desks and conference tables, eliminating the need for clunky, dust-collecting power bars. And everyone knows a clean, organized workspace clears the way for efficient productivity (but save room on that desktop for an afternoon latte and doughnut).

Complementing the power modules, HON's wire management systems keep cables organized and out of sight, reducing clutter and enhancing office aesthetics. Features like under-desk trays and cable clips ensure a tidy and safe workspace, preventing tripping hazards and technical issues. Together, these solutions support an efficient and industrious workplace without sacrificing style.

To Sum it Up

A flexible, comprehensive office isn't just about where you work; it's about how you feel while you're working. With an adaptable, amenities-driven approach, any organization can become a place that puts people first.
