The concept of great workplace design was never a static one. Our understanding of design principles is in a state of constant evolution, just like the disposition of each generation that steps up to occupy the space at any given time.

However, there are always two major components which differentiate a great office space from a good one.

1) Objective improvements that unequivocally improve the mental and physical wellbeing of every person occupying the said space.

2) Subjective design elements that cater to individual needs, thus actively promoting self-expression and actualization.

With both these factors accounted for, organisations can design a workspace that not only boosts employee retention and productivity, but also stands as a physical representation of their value system.
