Here are few things that I feel we should start seeing in offices -
1. Laptop’s Instead of desktops – Well this is debatable. To me Laptops are better solution with portability & Go Green message. If it has to desktops then it shouldn’t be a ‘Pentium X Inside’! For God’s sake get an updated PC; At least a dual core if not quad or Core iX. And yes not to mention about the CRT monitors which is so energy hungry and should be replaced with LCD monitors (unless you are in a heavy photo-shop business that is).
2. Do away with phones – No I am not talking about mobile phones that employees’ bring to work J. With 24x7 internet connectivity and computers in front of us, companies should be avoiding costs of hardware phone. There are numerous solutions already, and yes VOIP is the way companies should be looking at.
3. Do away with wasteful stationery in style – Provide Tablets to employees. There are many cheaper options of Tablets available in the market and not to mention about the bulk ordering bargains that companies might get. We should be looking at saving Paper. It could be provided to employees as a ‘Welcome Kit’ and it could also contain the soft copies HR manuals and other related documents handed out during induction sessions.

4. Wi-Fi – There are offices which still do not have this and it’s so not happening. IT offices campus should be a strictly Wi-Fi zone, though a protected one!
I’ll ensure that I provide all these in the company I would own one day!
Leave your thoughts on your must have for the modern day offices or you plan to provide in your company one day.
