Product Description
As alternative work environments (AWE) become a commonplace strategy for supporting new business objectives, design and facility professionals will need new tools and techniques to support these objectives. "New Workplace for New Workstyles" is the first design guide to the newest trends in office design today. Designers, facility managers, executives and real estate professionals will find the most cutting edge information on: sell the concept to senior management; deal with up-front technology expenditures; provision the telecommuter's home office; apply traditional policy and law in the AWE. Examples, plans, designs, and photographs of twenty major corporations - from IBM to Pacific Bell - provide the how to's and reasoning behind each of the alternative work environments featured.
From the Author
Why I wrote this book:
I wrote this book because I sensed a surging interest in howand why the look, feel, and management of our corporate workplaces continue to change. I realized this interest when I wrote a column on home office design and alternative officing for Interiors Magazine. I found a mountain of overwhelming, confusing information, and realized the need for one comprehensive source with an index to which a design or facility professional could refer for helpful and insightful information on putting together an alternative officing program. I hope the book will become a reference, an inspiration, and a tool for you to use towards your own discoveries in planning, designing, and managing an alternative workplace.

This review is from: New Workplaces for New Workstyles (Hardcover)
My firm needed information about designing a new workplace and an architect recommended we read this book. Now, we are thinking about hoteling because this book helped us to understand what it was all about. It was easy to understand and easy to read--there are tons of statistics, too. Great read.
