Few companies truly understand what characteristics a good office space should possess. Is it just a house for collective work?

IBM consistently adheres to the philosophy of ‘We think with our hands’, and the whiteboards can help employees record their thoughts at any time.

In this space, everything is movable. The team can reconfigure their workspace according to their task requirements. For example, whiteboards that can be easily moved by 1-2 people, and movable and adjustable desks and chairs. By rearranging the furniture, they create new layouts within the limited space, bringing great convenience to their work.

In order to facilitate face-to-face communication among employees and create a work environment that can change as needed, we have added both movable and wall-mounted whiteboards in the office.

In any open office space, there needs to be some relatively private areas where employees can focus on their individual work tasks and also communicate with others in an undisturbed environment.

The walls of these small meeting rooms are also equipped with writable whiteboards, making it convenient for employees to discuss issues and record important information. Furthermore, research shows that standing communication can increase trust between people and enhance communication efficiency.

Large conference rooms and training rooms are used for formal business meetings and employee training. IBM has a comprehensive and widely recognized training system that will help employees progress quickly.

A good office environment also includes comfortable dining and tea areas. A warm third space not only allows employees to physically relax, but also affects their affection for work and even the enterprise on a psychological level.
