Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Workspace design trends are increasingly focused\non adapting to working patterns, culture and organisational needs to\nsupport employees\u2019 productivity and comfort as ways of working change,\nsaid Fayruzka Juanita, Design Director at Studio Yruna.<\/p>\n
She said a workspace should not be seen merely as a place to complete\nwork, but should also help employees develop and realise their\npotential.<\/p>\n
\u201cCompanies see the office only as a place where people work, not as\nsomewhere they can develop, where their potential can be encouraged, and\nwhere facilities can help them do so,\u201d she said at a press conference\nfor the DFL Conference 2026 in Jakarta on Thursday.<\/p>\n
This understanding is needed to ensure that the physical facilities\navailable are aligned with employees\u2019 needs and the organisation\u2019s\ncharacter over the long term.<\/p>\n
She said a mismatch between the culture a company wants to build and\nits workplace facilities could affect the development of corporate\nculture and employee productivity.<\/p>\n
As well as current needs, workspace planning should take into account\nhow an organisation may develop over the next five to 10 years,\nincluding possible changes in employee numbers and working patterns.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat way, when changes happen, there is no need to make another\nmajor investment because the space is already adaptable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cChanges related to workspaces are happening quite quickly, and the\nneeds of companies, people and organisations are changing too. We feel\nthere needs to be a forum for us to improve this industry together,\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>\n
She said workspace development involved a range of parties with\ndifferent perspectives, including designers, contractors, manufacturers,\nproperty consultants, property owners and space users.<\/p>\n
The discussion on workspace developments was part of the DFL\nConference 2026, held in Jakarta under the theme \u201cThe Connected\nWorkspace: Built on Culture, Driven by People, Powered by\nTechnology\u201d.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/workspace-design-trends-adapt-to-changing-ways-of-working-1791460513", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
