ASTRA: DESIGN AND NATURE IN HARMONY AT THE WORKPLACE

When Astra International wanted to design their latest office in Jakarta, they wanted to ensure there was harmony at the workplace with nature and performance.

They focused on a common theme in their materials – natural rattan & wood materials, which also appears on the furniture used. In addition to the choice of materials, the furniture used must also accommodate the need to work while sitting or standing (Sit-To-Stand), both for work desks and meeting tables.

The office furniture was supplied by Bristol with workstations for 40 featuring a gradient of Zephyr colours used in the dividers and conference room furniture.

INNOV8: WHERE TRANSFORMATION STARTS

Innov8 is the brainchild of Dr. Ritesh Malik who realised that the environment in which startups were nurtured was less than ideal because of the dearth of inspiring workplaces in India.

His idea to create more transformational workspaces became a reality in the form of the first Innov8 in Connaught Place, New Delhi which made news for being put together in a jaw dropping 49 days in an officially classified “”heritage building”” in the world’s sixth most expensive office market space. This pioneering Innov8 set the template for all future campuses which Dr. Malik.

ARYA NOBEL: WORK SMILING, AND IN STYLE

Arya Noble an Indonesian-based strategic and investment holding company focusing on healthcare and new ventures, was opening up a new office in the city.

Their office ambience and design was inspired by one of the 10 ARYA Ways,”Work with SMILE & STYLE: To love and enjoy one’s job; to apply elegant taste in appearance while working in an environment that is clean, neat, and casually yet artistically designed.”

The ‘neat’ nuance is manifested in a mature atmosphere with natural colors. The furniture uses a wood grain worktop, while the ‘clean’ impression is implemented by using glass as a divider. The design of a simple discussion table with Dual Access that can be accessed by users from different sides, with a minimalist structure reinforces the impression of ‘elegant’. Overall, the combination of furniture and interior creates a room with a warm ambiance.

5 Tips to Work From Home Effectively

5 Tips To Work From Home Efficiently

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak worldwide, many are now caught in the dilemma of having their staff work remotely.

Leaving the office behind has been a popular trend for a while, but to keep it sustainable and productive; here are a few pointers to make the transition smoother and more conducive for both yourself and your organisation.

1

Tip #2 Communicate often

It is important to let everyone know if you are in front of your computer or not. It is necessary to maintain a clear communication path with your colleagues. In today’s digital era, there are many different chat applications that will enable teams to work remotely.

Tip #1 Set time schedules

Ensure that you are available during work hours is key to collaboration when one works remotely. As your colleagues cannot see you at your desk, ensure that you set up your scheduling and update immediately if there are any changes. If you need to step out for more than 15 minutes, clear it with your team so there is no miscommunication if they are not getting any response from you.

02

Tip #3 Minimise distractions

As we are not bound to a desk in an office environment, we’re prone to work in an assumed comfortable position. You may be tempted to sit at the comfort of the sofa with the television running in the background, thinking that this is the perk, but it is counterproductive. It is best to set up a designated working space to emulate a productive home office. Minimise distractions like TV but have calming music playing in the background to eliminate the feeling of having the walls closing in on you.

Tip #4 A good environment ​

Productivity highly depends on your posture and sitting position. Just because you are at home, it doesn’t mean that you are going to be able to lie in bed trying to get work done, where it is a video conference, concall or replying emails. To have maximum focus and efficiency, have good lighting, invest in an ergonomic chair that allows you to sit comfortably with good lumbar support and if possible, a height adjustable table that will allow you to sit or stand when needed. Moving your spot to another in your home also functions the same way, just make sure the environment is also conducive for work.

Tip #5 Set boundaries

At the comfort of home, we tend to get distracted by either family members or chores. However, if you have informed them about the new working arrangement, and set appropriate boundaries, you are more likely to work in peace. At the start, discuss expectations and the things that you need to work efficiently with your housemates and family, but also allow yourself the time to be with them during meal times. After all, these are the benefits to working at home.

The first few weeks of working from home are always the hardest. As a human, we crave social interaction with others. The work pattern and synergies you already have with your colleagues will also have a drastic change. The trust built with your team will also take on a different momentum. Allow some time to adjust, but keep disciplined and consistent to make it successful.

At Bristol, we believe that anyone can work better at home with the proper guidelines, tools and working environment.
