Description

AOS turns your work environment into a strategic advantage.

Your work environment can be a strategic tool to support the challenges your organization is facing:

• Recruiting and retaining the best people.
• Increase interaction and knowledge sharing.
• Evaluate people on results not on presence.
• Project and team structures instead of hierarchical structures.
• Changing activities and processes due to economic and market factors.

AOS Studley creates a work environment that is completely tailored to the strategy of your organisation. Before starting the development of a work environment, our consultants will interview the management of the organisation about the objectives they want to achieve with the implementation of a new way of working. On the basis of this a concept is worked out that meets both the strategic needs and the concrete space requirements of the personnel. The whole implementation process is supported by a communication and change management approach that reflects the strategy.

Each project for the implementation of a new work environment passes through the following steps:

 

The key steps for a successful implementation are:

• Orientation: To define the goals and the objectives for the new environment and to gather the required information.
• Analysis: To define the needs of each department, to develop a relationship matrix, to measure the occupancy index, interviews;
• Concept: To develop the concept for one floor based on the objectives and the space needs and considering all elements of the work environment.
• Program: Micro layout (details) of each floor based on the concept and the space requirements.

At each step of the process attention is paid to the change management. A new work environment creates a feeling of insecurity among the personnel. A robust change management plan ensures that this insecurity can be channelled into enthusiasm and cooperation in the new environment. The AOS Studley consultants actively assist in setting up and detailing a communication plan addressing the internal organisation.
