The Holy Grail
For many years leading lights in the property and
construction industry, such as Paul Morrell, have referred to the connection
between office design and business performance (or productivity) as the Holy Grail.
There is a view that the relationship is elusive and intangible, a myth even.
That in itself is not a problem, but one consequence of believing that the
impact of office design on productivity is not easily demonstrated, is that it
is generally ignored. From a business perspective, ignoring the effect of your workplace
facilities on your workforce’s performance is not just naïve but
also irresponsible.
