According to workclockwise.co.uk, “A traditional office is a place where you have to pay monthly rent, usually calculated according to the square footage you require. This type of office space is not gaining popularity. While it is ideal for large and established businesses that want to create a unique and branded office environment, it can be very expensive.”
So the traditional working environment can be roughly understood as a fixed physical space, for example, an office is rented/owned by an enterprise, concentrated with many people belonging to the same organization/enterprise.
Regarding the conditions for the traditional working environment to be considered perfect, it must have an area to accommodate a sufficient number of employees, have adequate facilities, equipment, meeting rooms,… to serve work and promote promotion progress and employee comfort.
– Easily understand the working time of employees.
– Communicate directly when problems arise and solve problems.
– Conveniently convey corporate culture through communication, offline events, meetings…
– Divide work from home and work, create motivation to complete important tasks.
– Build relationships with colleagues.
– Costs can be high when building: traditional offices consume a lot of investment budgets of businesses: space design, office equipment, and tools, space rental costs, monthly living expenses,… If businesses know how to use tools to manage decor, they can save costs.
– Is a working space with many people: The working space is narrow, closed with walls and partitions. The office also limits the mobility of employees because the department’s design is space apart.
– The way to store data is not optimal: By paper, personal computer or intranet,… leading to frequent overload, difficult to find information.
Digital Working Environment (Digital Workplace) is also known as the digital working environment. Like the traditional work environment, here employees and managers will do the same things every day. If the traditional environment is something we can directly “touch”. Then the digital working environment can only be indirectly “touched” through a certain tool.
Today with ever-evolving technology and during the covid pandemic. A digital working environment is the only and essential need. Because it is an online space where every member of the business/organization can interact collaborate, work together regardless of geographical location. The digital workspace is a collection of work tools that help employees connect, collaborate, share, and set up processes to work efficiently.
