Task 2: Open plan office no walls, no barriers. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

There is a controversial notion heating a debate over the fact that plan offices should be designed with no

walls

and

barriers

. In my opinion,

this

statement has both pros and cons,

however

, the disadvantage still outweighs its counterpart. Without a shadow of a doubt, plan offices that do not have

walls

or

barriers

do good to the relations of co-workers. It is obvious that without

walls

or

barriers

, co-workers can connect and have more conversations with

others

, cultivating the relationships among people in the company.

For instance

, colleagues in an office with no

walls

can easily talk or share documents with

others

because there is no obstacle between each person.

As a result

, it is undeniable that an office without

walls

acts as a precursor in the co-workers’ relationships. While the redeeming feature of no

walls

is widely acknowledged, there are still some drawbacks that lead to the lack of personal space in each department. Undoubtedly,

although

all people work in the same company, they will have their own duty and no one is the same so they may undeliberately distract

others

if there are no

barriers

in the offices.

For example

, when a department wants to celebrate their triumph in a noisy way, which may irritate other people in the room.

Hence

, having no

walls

brings some negative impacts on colleagues' privacy and may annoy

others

. In conclusion, despite boosting the relationships between each co-worker, the plan office still should be opened with

walls

and

barriers

to ensure the personal space of each person in the company.
