Collaboration is the foundation of getting stuff done in the workplace. Meeting with others, sharing ideas, brainstorming, gaining buy-in, and aligning on an execution strategy is paramount to driving your business forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collaboration ranges from having a quiet chat with one other person to generating ideas as a team or videoconferencing with colleagues across the world. In most offices, these activities take place in conference rooms. Yet the best collaboration spaces<\/a> are so much more than a few chairs around a table encased between four walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since working together is critical and comes in many forms, conference rooms need to be both diverse and able to inspire employees to do their best work. Having flexible workspaces<\/a> where employees have the freedom to work according to their needs and comfort level is essential to keeping productivity levels high\u2014not to mention attracting and retaining top talent<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why offices should have a variety of meeting spaces of different sizes and amenities. Designers should be mindful not to overstaff a space with, for example, small three-person rooms or large 10-person ones. The optimal workspace<\/a> has a healthy mix of both. Here are some of the ways WeWork creates conference rooms that foster collaboration and productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n
