Every workplace has its own requirements, from office layouts and space constraints to employees’ working preferences and storage needs. As businesses adapt to more dynamic environments shaped by collaboration and hybrid work, creating a functional workplace involves more than simply choosing the right workstation.
Customised workstation and storage solutions allow businesses to tailor their office environments to suit their space, operational needs and preferred working arrangements. By considering functionality, flexibility and efficient space utilisation, businesses can create a more organised and adaptable workplace that supports everyday operations and evolving workplace needs.
Beyond functionality and design, sustainability is also a consideration when planning workspaces. EXSTO’s desking solutions have attained Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) certification, reflecting their assessment against established sustainability criteria. This provides an additional reference when considering the environmental aspects of furniture selection in workplace planning.
1. Different Workstation Configurations
The arrangement of workstations plays an important role in how office space is utilised. Depending on the available floor area and team size, businesses can explore configurations such as individual workstations, back-to-back arrangements, four-person clusters and 120-degree workstations.
Each layout serves different needs, whether accommodating individual users, making efficient use of floor space or creating a shared setup for teams.
Suitable for employees who require a dedicated workspace, offering a defined area for focused tasks and everyday work activities.
An efficient layout that accommodates multiple employees within a shared office environment, balancing individual working areas with convenient access to colleagues.
Four-Person Workstation Cluster
Brings small teams together within a shared workstation arrangement, facilitating communication and coordination while maintaining individual desk spaces.
120-Degree Workstation
Features an angled workstation design that supports flexible seating arrangements, allowing businesses to accommodate different team configurations while maintaining designated working areas for individual employees.
2. Desk Panels
In shared office environments, desk panels offer a practical way to introduce visual separation between workstations. They help define individual working areas and provide a greater sense of privacy without requiring separate rooms.
EXSTO offers a selection of panel colours, finishes and materials, allowing businesses to choose options that complement their office interiors and preferred workstation arrangements.
3. Econnect Power module
Power access is an important consideration when planning a functional workstation. EXSTO’s Econnect Power Module offers a variety of power and connectivity options that can be integrated directly into workstations, keeping essential connections conveniently accessible.
With different configurations available, businesses can select suitable power solutions based on their device requirements and preferred workstation setup. This provides greater flexibility in planning workstations for different users and working environments.
4. Monitor arms & Docking Solutions
Monitor arms and docking solutions offer additional flexibility in arranging workstation equipment. EXSTO’s ZE100 single monitor arm and ZE200 dual monitor arm allow users to position their monitors according to their preferences while making better use of desk space.
Complementing these monitor arms, the JE100 docking station serves as a centralised hub for connecting multiple cables and compatible devices. Together, these accessories help simplify desk connectivity and reduce cable clutter, creating a more streamlined working area.
5. Storages
For employees with dedicated workstations, fixed pedestals provide a convenient place for personal belongings and everyday work essentials. Options such as the H500 and PM009 offer sufficient storage capacity while keeping frequently used items within easy reach.
In hot-desking environments, shared storage offers an alternative for employees who move between workstations, allowing them to keep their belongings in a designated location.
By considering how storage is used across different working arrangements, businesses can reduce unnecessary clutter and make more effective use of their office space.
Finding the Right Workstation Setup
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to workplace planning. Understanding how employees carry out their daily activities and interact within their working environment helps businesses make informed decisions that contribute to a more comfortable, efficient and purposeful workspace.
At EXSTO, we focus on providing tailored workplace solutions that address the practical needs of each organisation, bringing together thoughtful design and functionality to create environments that support the way people work.
