Office space influences collaboration dynamics and can either facilitate or hinder teamwork. Asana's recent desk reshuffle, which concentrated employees closer together, provided insight into how physical layout impacts collaboration. Observing increased cooperation among employees after reshuffling highlights the importance of considering spatial arrangements in a hybrid work environment. Leaders aiming to improve remote work outcomes can learn valuable lessons from these findings, emphasizing that collaboration is significantly boosted by proximity, rather than simply having employees in the same space.
Collaboration doesn't happen just because people share an office. Research shows that once two people are on different floors, their chances of collaborating plummet.
Asana reshuffled its San Francisco office by closing two floors and moving teams closer together, leading to increased collaboration among employees.
