Offices for flexible worker numbers Michael Bleby In RPM Real Estate’s Rothelowman-designed office, bespoke filing cabinets are kept at a low height to allow for easy communication (above) and (left) open plan management desks foster collaboration and encourage team communication. Rising numbers of part-time and flex- ible workers are forcing companies to change the way they use space. Full-time workers sitting in the same desk day after day use space differently to casuals who come in infrequently, flexible staff who combine working at home with office time, and sales staff who come in from the field. An example of this is real estate com- pany RPM, which needed more space, but only on Mondays. Half of the nearly 100 staff working for RPM, which mar- kets housing developments in Mel- bourne’s urban growth corridors, work off site, but come into the South Mel- bourne office each week for sales meet- ings. ‘‘On a Monday, we have a lot of teams coming in to finalise reports for our developers,’’ says RPM chief executive Kevin Brown. ‘‘On a Monday we have a big swell of people coming in. For that reason, we’ve done a pretty big area that can be used for lunch as well. It’s a large room, all decked out with Wi-Fi and higher tables and stools, rather than desks. Ten to 15 extra people could be in on a Monday at a time.’’ On level 5 of the 52 York Street office, large storage cabinets holding plans and other papers also rise to heights that make it easy for staff to gather around and have discussions. Australia’s workforce is changing. While the country still had more than twice as many people – 8.16-million – full time work in May as in part-time work (3.77-million), part-time jobs have grown faster over the past six years. The mix will change further as employers in large industries such as property and financial services embrace the societal changes under way and make more effort to embrace flexible work practices to permit more working parents to stay longer and more productively in the workforce. Designing physical space that serves those changing needs efficiently is a challenge for all companies, whether big or small. ‘‘We’re getting very different chan- ging workforces as people avail them- selves of HR policy flexibility,’’ says Kate Langan, ANZ Banking Group’s general manager of property. ANZ has a degree of flexibility already from its widespread use of activity based working practices that mean staff have no fixed desk of their own, but even that will change more, she says. ‘‘We have an element of flexibility to start with that enables some of that concertina-ing,’’ Langan says. ‘‘What find now is that with the diversity of groups that we bring together, the nature of what the space is is chan- ging.’’ At RPM’s South Melbourne building, extra flexibility comes in the spaces managers occupy. They have larger- than-normal desks to allow for staff to gather around for meetings. The Rothelowman-designed fitout that Brown says cost about $1500 per square metre permits growth in the company that says it has this year sold 4,500 blocks of land.

The seven-storey Calile hotel, being developed by Calile Malouf Invest- ments, will take shape on bustling James Street, bounded by Doggett and Wandoo streets.
