Imagine coming to work every day and not being sure where to sit. You don't have a desk — instead, you need to figure out what's ahead in your day and what type of space you need, and then find a spot.
That's life at the new Toronto headquarters of consulting firm Deloitte.
"There are about 18 different types of workstations on any given floor," explains Ryan Brain, the Deloitte partner who has overseen the transition to the new space and a new way of working for the firm's 4,500 employees in Toronto.
"We believe we're in an age now where people are working differently, where people are teaming differently, collaborating differently," says Brain.
The space is wildly stylish and modern, with lime green floating staircases traversing a six-storey atrium, a tented waiting area in reception, lots of natural light and designer kitchen areas that feature Starbucks coffee.
