Insights from the forefront of future of work thought leadership

How does an organisation choose between a pre-fitted office or investing in a custom fitted workplace?

When moving to a new office location, organisations often grapple with a crucial decision: should they choose a space with a cold shell and invest in a custom commercial office fitout or move into a pre-fitted office? This choice isn't just about picking a space—it's about aligning your workplace environment with your business's unique needs, culture, and future growth. The article will help you navigate this decision by exploring the key aspects of both options.

What is the value of a purpose led, people centred workplace?

At the heart of every business is its people. An unhappy team of people leads to mediocre performance at work, high staff turnover and cultural issues, including lack of collaboration and innovation. If a business has ongoing problems like this, eventually the quality of services and products are affected, and this impacts the bottom line.

Being aware of these problems is one thing, but overcoming it is another. Despite their best efforts many companies are unsure how to create a workplace strategy that will improve the happiness and wellbeing of employees and in turn improve the culture and performance.

That is why this year, Axiom in conjunction with the Global Workplace Collective hosted the “Purpose Led, People Centred” events in Australia and the USA. We invited industry experts to come together and discuss their firsthand experiences and share how they solved these familiar challenges to build their own “Purpose led, People Centred" workplaces and boosted their businesses success.

The way we work has changed significantly over the past couple of years – and there’s no going back. Here’s how technology can help your organisation support the workforce of the future.

A new, hybrid way of working is having a profound impact on the role of workspaces.

“Today the workplace acts more as a connector,” says Dean Rikanovic, Workplace Interior Architect at Axiom Workplaces. “It needs to enable people to engage, exchange, share, learn. To connect with culture and the brand.”

Offices that can do this well will support hybrid work, foster social connections and enhance performance through technology – and create a happier, more productive workforce.

The role of Audio-Visual technology has never been more critical for developing a thorough workplace strategy than it is today. As businesses increasingly rely on effective communication and collaboration tools, there’s a growing expectation for workplaces to provide reliable and user-friendly AV solutions that support interactions between remote employees, in-office teams, and clients. Axiom regularly works with reputable AV companies to ensure our clients are informed of the latest digital workplace technology and can decide how to include this in their new commercial office fitout. We asked AV Company Workspace AV to share how their AV technology can boost workplace communication and function.
