The rescue team stabilised the patient before initiating the evacuation process
Australian researchers think they know why: working in an open- plan format is much more stressful than having four walls around you.
“The evidence we found was absolutely shocking,” Queensland University researcher Vinesh Oommen said after studying a raft of papers on the subject.
“In 90 per cent of the research, the outcome of working in an open-plan office was seen as negative, with open-plan offices causing high levels of stress, conflict, high blood pressure, and a high staff turnover,” he said.
It seems that the bedlam of jangling telephones and bleeping computers is to blame - along with the loss of privacy and the added opportunity for clashing with colleagues.
“The research found that the traditional design was better - small, private closed offices,” Dr Oommen said. “The problem is that employers are always looking for ways to cut costs, and using open- plan designs can save 20 per cent on construction.”
