So it\u2019s even more important to ensure that good staff aren\u2019t lost just because of a poor working environment and lack of communication.  <\/p>\n<p>In many offices, the truth is there remains visible barriers to communication between staff, employers and management. These divides often make for disjointed teams rather than the more collaborative workspaces we find in contemporary offices. <\/p>\n<p>So what are the ways to bring down barriers in your office plans and layouts?  <\/p>\n<p>The most obvious fix is to get rid of those private inaccessible rooms that literally put walls between management and staff. If everyone sits together, then collaboration will come more naturally and improve productivity.  <\/p>\n<p>Where there are rooms, there should be glass panels so that everyone can see what\u2019s going on and there is a greater feeling of transparency. Meeting spaces where regular catch ups can be had between everyone in the company and they don\u2019t always have to be formal affairs. Staff like to be treated like human beings who matter to a business.  <\/p>\n<p>Outside of work, regular social events are equally important as is the involvement of senior staff and bosses.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays retaining good staff is hard when there is so much visible competition and it\u2019s so easy to find and apply for a new job often at the click of a button on a website.
