Studio Groen+Schild

'It is the peo­ple that move, not the walls'
Our view of work­ing has changed. The dig­i­tal­iza­tion of in­for­ma­tion and processes al­low us to work any­where, any­time. This has led to em­ploy­ees hav­ing more say about when and where they per­form their ac­tiv­i­ties. There is more room for self-man­age­ment, own ini­tia­tive and per­sonal de­vel­op­ment. Fur­ther­more, there is a need to meet each other, ex­change in­for­ma­tion and share know­ledge.
Stu­dio Groen+Schild are very ex­pe­ri­enced in this New Ap­proach to Work­ing. We ex­am­ine the work processes, the cul­ture and the po­ten­tial to change of an or­ga­ni­za­tion and then set about de­sign­ing an in­no­v­a­tive of­fice con­cept. We work in­ten­sively with the user on this. To­gether with the em­ploy­ees, we de­ter­mine the pro­gram of re­quire­ments, the work­ing en­vi­ron­ment that suits the or­ga­ni­za­tion and the rules for the new en­vi­ron­ment. We en­sure there is a pleas­ant work­ing en­vi­ron­ment and de­velop work­places that suit the ac­tiv­i­ties within the or­ga­ni­za­tion. Flex­i­bil­ity is im­por­tant: it is the peo­ple that move, not the walls. A work en­vi­ron­ment that meets the needs of em­ploy­ees has a pos­i­tive ef­fect on pro­duc­tiv­ity and sick­ness leave.
A suc­cess­ful of­fice con­cept can pos­i­tively fa­cil­i­tate work processes and the ap­pear­ance of the in­te­rior com­ple­ments the iden­tity of the or­ga­ni­za­tion. Em­ploy­ees feel com­fort­able in their new en­vi­ron­ment, feel pride in it and treat it ac­cord­ingly. En­thu­si­as­tic users are the am­bas­sadors of The New Ap­proach to Work­ing.
