Workspace and workplace are two terms that are confounding most people today. The terms are usually interchangeably used but they are distinctly different. We can get right into the nitty-gritty of things and hopefully by the end of this article, you’ll have a better idea of what they mean, how to distinguish between the two, and what are the things to focus on to have the perfect working environment!
What do they mean?
A workplace is a physical location you go to work at. It is often answered by the question of where you go to work. Your workplace could be a city, a company, a building, or a room. A workspace, on the other hand, is the personal space where you get work done. The workspace can include non-human identities like virtual assistants, software, and artificial intelligence amongst others. The workspace is a space that contains everything you need to do the tasks your current job entails. Your workspace is fluid, it could be a metro station, an office desk, a coffee shop, or even your own house.
- A workplace is a physical location whereas a workspace is a contextual space that can change.
- Workspaces often include digital agents like AI, virtual assistants, bots, or software.
- Your workspace is often a part of the digital workplace.
What is a digital workplace?
Especially in the context of more people working from home now than ever before, several businesses have gone fully digital. In this scenario, digital workplaces are taking precedence. A digital workplace is the virtual meeting room that is generated for business conversations and meetings through a plethora of digital workplace management applications and programs.
HPE defines a digital workplace as “A digital workplace is a virtualized form of the traditional, in-person office environment, where many elements of collaboration and productivity are performed through some combination of digital applications, cloud computing, and other technology.” https://www.hpe.com/us/en/what-is/digital-workplace.html#:~:text=A digital workplace is a,cloud computing, and other technology.
If your team has a meeting on a video conference, the conference room is the digital workplace and your workspace is a part of it because the task at hand is business communication and you are achieving it through the software at hand.
What should a good workplace contain?
A good workplace should inspire. Several companies have a work culture and an office that is enviable. A pool table, a garden space or a water feature can bring inspiration and increase productivity and efficiency. It can boost morale and pump-up employee satisfaction.
A clutter-free, well-lit workplace reduces distractions, helps declutter minds, and is conducive to better focus. An office is a place we spend most of our time on working days and a good workplace results in the mental well-being of your employees.
