Keep reading as we discover the top 4 tech-driven office trends, paired with ideas on how to incorporate them into your current office space planning.

Health & Safety Tech 

The Workplace Health and Safety Act in Singapore demands offices to prioritise the well-being and welfare of all employees. So why not equip your overall office interior design with measures that ensure proper health and safety?

• Wearable tech (like smartwatches and fitness trackers) — these help provide feedback and monitor the health data of employees. 

• Smart desks and chairs — these detect employee posture and movement and provide feedback to help them maintain ergonomics. 

• Wellness coaching apps — these guide employees on factors like nutrition, exercise, and even stress management.

Smart Light, Temperature, & Air Controls 

An office too bright for some and too dim for others — or too hot for one and too cold for another? That’s a big no, as it creates an uncomfortable work environment. Installing smart light, temperature, and air controls can solve the problem!

Smart thermostats detect certain factors (for example, the time of the day, the outside temperature, and the number of people in a room) to regulate the indoor environment. On the other hand, smart lighting technology works to conserve energy and illuminate the room to improve employee alertness — and, as a result, productivity levels. Finally, smart air controls detect harmful particles in the surroundings to help control humidity and minimise pests. They can also improve the overall indoor air quality of your office. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Cut the detailed (and repetitive) brainstorming and problem-solving for your employees by allowing AI to perform these tasks. Doing so will give them the opportunity to work on and come up with innovative solutions instead!

AI can also assist in transforming complex data into easy-to-understand insights, especially for tasks that require deep content analysis. 

Smart Collaboration Tools 

Smooth and uninterrupted collaboration tools contribute to a better work environment. You can also expect more fruitful results. Ideas include: 

• High-definition video conferencing (that supports seamless virtual meetings)
• Interactive displays and whiteboards (that allow collaborative presentations)
• Unified communication platforms (for easy communication)
