Golden Square - Joy at Work

  Software developers all have the same amount of time every week. Some use that time effectively to ship great products and others push things to the next sprint. For a software development team to have peak productivity, both skillset and work environment matters. Unfortunately, even for the most skilled teams, the modern work environment can become a productivity killer. Constant pings on messaging apps, interruptions from well meaning office colleagues, and the constant pull of emails, social media, and other time killers make a team highly unproductive. How can we design a better work environment for a more productive software development team? Current office designs are not suitable for teams that require uninterrupted time to do deep focused work. Most offices are designed with an open office plan. These are terrible for focused work, or any kind of deep work.  Most companies decide to implement an open office plan due to cost consideration. But they come with a lot of ...

Creating your own customized office space isn’t easy, is it? Every company has its own work culture and its own ideal office setup which allows it to be at its most productive state. Every team has its own unique design aesthetic. Every individual has their own lifestyle and environment that they are familiar with and comfortable with. It is very unlikely that anyone will find their ideal workspace easily, and setting it up yourself takes a lot of time and effort - time and effort, which could otherwise be spent actually getting your work done. Setting up an office to suit your specific needs can be a difficult and wearisome task. This was more or less exactly the problem that the US-based MNC Modelytics was facing when they decided to set up an office in Bangalore. Except, for them, it wasn’t much of a problem at all! The entire process was smooth-sailing, and even enjoyable for them because they had the Golden Square team on their side.    M...

Fancy greeting cards, the red roses, chocolates, teddy bears, late night parties and of course there is love in the air…ring any bells? Yes it’s the valentine's’ season! But are we still there? I don’t think so; time has changed this fairy tale sounding story into a whole new different feeling. We are now far away from such dreamy date night parties. But of course we are into a different zone that is much better. Lately, we have found the love of our life in the business or jobs we do. They are a part of our life, indeed an important one. But aren’t there problems in there too? Of course there are, being a businessman or a new startup owner; you are loaded with stress, especially the stress of managing your resources and office space.

The “ABC.CO*” lately confronted an issue regarding employees working in night shift. There was a construction activity going on near the office building during the nights that interrupted the calls of the team. When this issue became bothersome, the company started looking for a temporary office space that would aid them in delivering the projects on-time. This is when Golden Square lent a helping hand. Within a course of 2-3 days the entire setup was made and ready to occupy. The team then continued its operations smo...

Imagine our grandparents walked into any of our offices right now, they’d for sure wonder how we get any work done at all. A lot of successful organizations today work in a very different way from the firms of earlier days. Dress codes are non-existent, ‘Good morning Sir!’ and ‘Goodnight Ma’am’ has been replaced by ‘Hey Bud!’ and ‘See ya June!’ and long formal emails and meetings have given way to concise text messages passed on across chat groups on different social media. However, the new generations of tech-savvy, internet-empowered employees have forced companies to modify or even eliminate policies that haven’t been touched for decades. But coming to the bigger picture, has any of this really managed to change the corporate workspace? And are these changes justified? We must say yes! Co-working spaces have brought in so much ease into the life of Millennials that working is now fun and innovative. Golden Square being one of the top co-working spaces across Bangalore is...
