Giving Workplace Flexibility a New Meaning

While most of us are slaving away in cubes or at our group's pod, the guys at the new Macquarie office in Sydney are spending their days in quite a different setting. The article mentions that the building consultant's idea was to encourage and facilitate a new way of working, and many seem to be taking advantage of the opportunity - more than half of the employees change their workspaces every day. While the pictures alone are interesting to look at, I would like to hear what others think about the effect of one's work environment on productivity, morale, etc, and if you guys think more banks will adopt similar-style workplaces as we head into the future.
