Macro-zoning organizes and segments workspaces within a company according to their uses. Different departments or services may have specific needs, so macro-zoning aims to define the boundaries of each zone, so that the work environment optimally meets the needs of the users.
A well-thought-out layout promotes communication between employees while offering the possibility of retreating for increased concentration. Macro-zoning also facilitates movement within the premises, thanks in particular to floor markings, furniture or partitions.
A company may decide to reorganize its offices by dividing them into several distinct zones, and many solutions are then possible: fully equipped meeting rooms, open spaces for team collaboration, etc. The company can also provide areas for individual tasks or those requiring concentration, through isolated offices or quiet workspaces.
Companies with a flex office work organization often design their zoning project before starting a possible construction phase. They can then call on a space planner for advice on the reorganization of their premises, while avoiding modifying the architecture of the buildings, for example.
It is also possible to organize your macro-zoning on the Deskare application. In addition to dividing your premises into different sites, zones by floors and workstations, you can now edit your plans to create “villages” reflecting your macro-zoning through an improved interface. These villages thus bring together several workstations according to your management rules. For example, you can dedicate a village to a team that has specific needs.
Be careful not to confuse macro and micro-zoning, which is a more detailed approach to workspace management in flex office: focusing on more specific divisions, on the design of the zones, etc.
For example, in micro-zoning, when designing a relaxation area, it can be decided to divide it into several small spaces equipped with sofas, tables, table football or a place to rest, including all the decorative elements that can be added.
Macro-zoning divides a company's workspaces according to the uses of the employees, for optimal layout. A well-thought-out layout facilitates communication, concentration and employee movement. It can include, for example, areas for meetings, collaboration, teamwork or relaxation.
