The workplace, which was designed to allow people to connect more, is pretty much an open space where even the meeting rooms have glass walls. Employers can see each other even when they are in meetings.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The original article \u201cForefront of WORKPLACE UNIQLO\u201d is a part of the WORK MILL with <\/em>Forbes JAPAN<\/em><\/a> Issue 2 -The Danish way \u00a9<\/em>WORK MILL<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uniqlo\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0\u201cconcurrent work\u201d strategy to make work faster by working in small\u00a0teams. With antique furniture placed here and there, the atmosphere resembles a stylish bookstore. This is what is called the Reading Room, located inside\u00a0Uniqlo\u2019s\u00a0<\/a>new Ariake<\/a>\u00a0office built in March 2017. The Reading Room is in the heart of a huge office space that covers 16,500 m\u00b2 on a single floor, where around 1,100 employees constantly come and go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This room is here to serve an important role for the \u201cconcurrent work\u201d required to reform Uniqlo\u2019s supply chain. Concurrent work refers to a way of working in which small teams with people from different departments can work with agility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim is to seamlessly share information that otherwise would end up limited to only specific departments. As you look over the office, you\u2019ll notice the \u201cporch\u201d where people congregate. With a long S-shaped walkway that increases contact points with other employees, it is near the workspace entrances and can be used freely by employees for meetings or just to chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This zoning encourages the sharing of information not just with team members, but throughout the entire company.<\/p>\n\n\n
