Benching, The Way We Work Now
Tired of being surrounded by three or four cubicle walls? Need a little more interaction with your co-workers? Well, wait no further. Benching is here and it is here to stay. Many companies, large and small, are moving away from cubicles that isolate employees and toward integrating work systems with open plans that promote collaboration, communication and idea sharing. Save the four walls for management who require privacy in their day to day activities. Those employees in the trenches just may need to be social with a line of sight to others they work with, not to mention a little natural light that you can’t get when you spend your whole day in a box with no windows.
