On eBay as part of operational excellence initiatives, Valerio DEWALT train association with eBay's internal resources in the workplace team to develop a series of pilot projects, aimed at establishing a new standard of corporate workplace. The new modular furniture workstations increased flexibility and allow the team to easily reconfigure their own space using a standard kit of parts. Careful programming, the entire space to support the private sector and the work of project team collaboration sites. Hotel Station, the team project area, private rooms, niches chat areas, and storage solutions were re-examined to ensure they comply with the new space to use. The result is a flexible work environment, enhance communication and collaboration.
The beginning of the design process, visit a variety of technology companies, in order to identify best practices. In addition, company-wide survey asked more than 5,000 employees in eBay's San Jose and Austin, Texas, their current work environment on campus. Most commonly identified the need smaller, more informal places to meet without the need to retain, and better communication technology.
Design team created a test space and the development of simulation room, and from seven manufacturers of furniture, to test the concept of the program. Noel was selected as the furniture manufacturing partners, but space, as well as from other manufacturers rely on a variety of furniture. With the business team, programming need to further improve spatial planning meeting.
The new 6 × 7 "style desktop workstations cost than their predecessors, and to comply with eBay's new standard, renewable and recyclable materials content. Workstation is lower in height, to improve the views and natural light, energy costs caused by artificial lighting. In addition, each employee to add new layout of the density, saving real estate costs. modular system, reducing the amount of storage space required, as part of the package is flexible enough to meet all business units needs of all are the reuse of existing workstation seats, complemented by support elements of the new office.
In the main aisle at the end of the screen provides a level of workers' privacy, without blocking views, to make people see the whole floor, look out. The screen also supports memory, brand, white, sticky boards, and a printer station. In the sensitive work, such as human resources, the department is engaged in semi-closed, and has a perimeter around the station to provide acoustic privacy of the white-noise system.
There are seven new venues of cooperation. "Think" rooms to support the work and focus on individual private telephone conversations. "Focus" one room with two co-chairs. "Maintain and meet the" field of promotion and a common whiteboard and file storage on the desktop, you can use the length of their project team consists of a small team meetings. "Connect" area, including a few chairs, garbage bin. "Project room, postal and Steelcase beam system", and with flexible living room furniture, is that teams can occupy the time of a specific project areas. "Project" and similar projects in the lounge area, but with moving tables and chairs can easily be reconfigured to provide. "Squeeze" of the region, including the concave Highback Vitra sofa facing each other, promote impromptu semi-private conversation.
The number of meeting rooms available has remained the same. Unlike the existing meeting rooms, new meeting space should be reserved. Are equipped with state of the art LED screen, rather than the projector, employees can use without having to rely on high-tech employees to set up.
On eBay in San Jose and Austin, and introduction of a new work area, is currently being launched across the U.S. workplace. The project has resulted in an increase in station density, an average of 30%, on average every 18 workstations, a new collaborative space.
Work area can better support alternative officing strategy. In eBay's existing workplace, tourists and hotel staff to work on campus dedicated facilities. In the new workplace, each of the "access points", so that visitors sit on their team, their period of stay.
