Instead we work in offices and many of us automatically assume that cubicle jobs are harmless to our health. Many of us don't do physical labor for a living. After all we don't carry, lift, move or do anything that requires serious muscle work. All we use are our brain and our hands to move, create and enter data into a computer.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 billion (80%) of the global workforce now works in a deskless environment. Strange, when one considers the digital shift that’s been occurring these last two decades, with many physical labor jobs having been replaced by automation technology and apps that can do the most complicated of tasks.

The green-eyed monster now rears itself not on the playground, but in the cubicle. When I was in grade school, every year I had to put up with someone I'll call "Mary" in my classes. I never liked her, because her hair was longer than mine, she dressed better than I did and she was much prettier. Yet, every year -- from kindergarten until sixth grade -- I had her in every class. Some day the jealousy I felt when she showed up in a new hair bow with a pretty dress made me seethe.

People spend a lot of time at work in their office cubicles. A cubicle is difficult to feng shui, since it is so compact. Office cubicles are either grey or other drab color, which does not promote a positive energy throughout the space. The first way to improve feng shui in the office cubicle is to change the position of the desk. Most cubicles do not see natural light, or they are not in front of windows.

The 1970s introduced The Cubicle – as I like to call “The Bullpen Plus.” The cubicle offered privacy, improving employee satisfaction in the grand scheme of things. The cubicle quickly became associated with cost-cutting and layoffs. Consequently, the average cubicle shrank in size by up to 50% from the mid-80s to the mid-90s. The evolution of the office dynamic is interesting to study.

Cubicles not only inhibit employees from feeling they are part of a team, they can also make an employee feel emotionally, mentally and physically stuck. Try taking down the cubicles and creating a space that is clean, refreshed and open. Renovating your office space is about a lot more than just a few paint swatches.

It will look like anything except an office, whether it’s a traditional one with cubicles or the modern one with lots of open space. The workplace of tomorrow will probably look like your living room or home office. Or maybe even a local coffee shop. Remote working is one of the most important business trends this year. It is also one of the things employees want from their employers the most, along with increased bonuses. Remote business or team setups can be very rewarding.

Perhaps the old-fashioned workplace ― with its small cubicles, petty politics, and occasional fights over parking spaces ― has already outlived its usefulness. A co-working space can change a business in profound and positive ways. If you’ve never seen one, it’s a shared office environment that your employees can use for however long is necessary. This concept is really shaking up the corporate world. Coworking spaces are almost like hotels or rental homes for companies.

Companies should embrace both the open plan type office and the cubicle design, to provide workers with a choice. As an active employee, you spend a significant part of your day at the office. During that time, you need to carry out tasks, meet deadlines, interact with co-workers, and still have complete insight into the impact of your work. However, what you are unaware of (most of the time) is how your office affects the way you work.
