In this issue, we will bring you a wealth of hard technology industry data. Delving into the ‘high-technology industry’, the future development trend of office space, helping enterprises to build an innovative thinking environment, and stimulating employees’ innovative behavior. By horizontally comparing Internet industry parameters, directional suggestions are put forward for the future planning of high-technology space.
SPI@High-Technology Industry
01 Spatial Proportion Index
Compared with the Internet industry, the ‘support space’ and ‘third space’ in the high-technology industry account for a higher proportion. First, enterprises in this industry need to configure advanced experimental venues in addition to meeting the daily office needs of employees. Secondly, providing diverse third spaces can promote collisions of ideas and bring higher performance.
02 Office Space Per Capita & Usable Seat
Office Space Per Capita (㎡/Pax)
13.5
Compared with the Internet industry in the previous period, the high-technology industry has a higher per capita area. Employees need to shuttle between professional laboratories and workstations equipped with equipment every day, and this special working mode brings a higher per capita area space.
Usable Seat(Seat/Pax)
2.0
The job diversity in the technology industry is increasing, so the seat-to-people ratio of office space data is as high as 2 Seat/Pax. This also means that the resources for meetings and collaboration spaces in this industry are relatively abundant, providing strong support for work collaboration.
03 Workspace Allocated Per Seat
This index reflects the reasonable comfort level of office space, and the high-technology industry is higher compared to the Internet industry. The underlying reason comes from the differences in work modes. R&D personnel typically spend longer hours at their workstations and require more screen and equipment support, so the functionality and comfort of the workstation are crucial.
04 Meeting Index
‘The meeting room is the war room.’ Employees in the high-technology industry typically have an average of 2.5 cross-departmental meetings per day. Ample meeting resources bring stronger business production capabilities, effectively increasing corporate competitiveness.
The high-technology industry has more demands for private communication compared to the Internet. For example, focusing on office needs, as well as the need for confidentiality of R&D information.
The storage needs of the high-technology industry are also higher than those of the Internet industry. In addition to a small amount of work documents, this industry still has some storage needs for equipment and products.
What insights can we gain about future space planning for the high-technology industry?
01 Improving Office Environment Comfort
Employ state-of-the-art ergonomic equipment, fitness center facilities, and comfortable recreational spaces to offer staff a wholesome working environment, which in turn boosts employee retention for the company.
02 Balancing ‘Collaboration’ and ‘Privacy’
By balancing the two working modes of collaboration and privacy, meeting both collective collaboration and individual focused tasks in R&D, truly improving work efficiency.
03 Establishing Employees’ Deep Sense of Belonging
Enhancing the sense of community and belonging in the office can bring immeasurable practical value to enterprises. How to establish a vibrant connection between people, enterprises, and office environments is worth considering in the future.
04 Stepping into the Era of Intelligent Office
With the development of high-technology industries, various fields have begun the process of digital and intelligent transformation. Smart, healthy, safe, and compatible ‘physical + digital’ office spaces have become an inevitable means to help enterprises achieve their strategic goals.
