What is an Office Breakout Area?

An office breakout area is a space designed within your workplace to provide employees with a change of environment from their regular workstations. It serves as a space where employees can take a break, engage in informal discussions, collaborate on projects or simply work in a more relaxed setting.

Breakout spaces are intended to promote creativity, help nurture workplace culture and provide a place for employees to recharge and rejuvenate, ultimately contributing to improved productivity and well-being.

What Should I Include in Our Breakout Area?

Office breakout rooms and spaces, from comfortable seating through to casual dining areas and games rooms, all with the aim to provide employees with a comfortable environment to wind down during a long work day.

Comfortable Seating
Providing a mix of soft seating options, including comfortable sofas and beanbags encourages employees to engage in informal discussions and brainstorming sessions.

Natural Elements:
Incorporating biophilic and natural elements via indoor plants, natural lighting, organic finishes and moss feature panels can create a soothing and productive atmosphere.

Benefits of an Office Breakout Area?

Incorporating well-thought-out breakout spaces in an office layout can contribute to a more dynamic, efficient, and innovative workplace, ultimately benefiting both employees and the organization as a whole.

Offering comfortable and appealing breakout areas shows that the organisation values its employees’ comfort and work experience. This small inclusion can result in increased staff engagement, productivity and retention.

Agile working is common place for the modern office, with many employees preferring to have a combination of days working in the office and days working from the comfort of their home. A breakout space can be a unique incentive for employees to work in the office, allowing them to not be confined to the standard desk space.
