Imagine walking into your office and being greeted by a space that's tailored to your preferences, just like your own home.
From sensors to IoT, and AI, technology has the power to transform traditional office spaces into contemporary hubs where employees can enjoy a level of wellness that was once unimaginable.
Tech has been fully embedded in our day-to-day for decades now. Our homes can now be kitted with fridges able to detects when we are out of groceries and place an order, apps to optimise thermal comfort remotely, robot cleaners and so on. If we add AI into the equation, we enter the realms of personalisation where the user journey is enhanced by a tailor-made experience.
The world of workplace is now ready to welcome these benefits into the office.
As employers are shifting their focus onto employee wellbeing, providing employees with the same comforts they would find in their own homes, and beyond, is key. It is no secret that wellness is tightly linked with productivity, efficiency and ultimately retention. In a time where several businesses are still finding a balance between providing their employees with a great place to work while facing empty desks and therefore unnecessary overheads, what is the right balance?
Here is where tech can provide a solution. From efficient management to understand people’s needs and behaviour, it can provide ubiquitous access to environmental and human data.
Monitoring space usage can help optimise all aspects from cleaning to temperature and energy consumption. If a space is vacant, AI can help limit the use of unneeded lighting and heating for instance.
But tech doesn’t just help with efficient management, it also puts employee wellbeing front and centre. Photo sensors can be used to dim or brighten and area, depending on the amount of natural light entering the space, enhancing the quality of light experienced by people using the space at all times. Live, Cloud based environmental sensors can monitor affluence, behavioural patterns and even employee wellbeing continuously.
The potential for innovation in workspaces is limitless as the technological revolution continues to advance. In a world where technology is rapidly changing, technological offices are no longer just an option, but a competitive advantage. By creating a comfortable, efficient, and productive work environment, companies can attract and retain the best talent while also boosting their bottom line. So embrace the power of technology and see the benefits it can bring to your workspace!
