Office

Oficina

An office is a room intended for work. There are many ways to distribute the space in an office depending on the function and how many people will work in the same room. At one end each worker will have his own site, in the other a large open office that can be composed of a main site with ten or hundreds of people working in the same space. Studies on the latter have shown that they yield short-term productivity, for example within a single project. At the same time loss of privacy and security can increase the incidence of theft and loss of company secrets. One type of intermediate office is the cubicle, which solves visual insulation to some degree, but often fails in separation and acoustic safety. In each office, a code of office policies is handled. There are several types of office such as open, closed, modern, integrated, furniture and equipment. Una oficina es un salón destinado al trabajo. Existen muchas formas de distribuir el espacio en una oficina según la función y cuántas personas trabajarán dentro del mismo cuarto. En un extremo cada trabajador tendrá su propio sitio, en el otro una oficina grande abierta que se puede componer de un sitio principal con diez o centenares de personas que trabajan en el mismo espacio. Los estudios acerca de esto último han demostrado que dan productividad a corto plazo, por ejemplo dentro de un solo proyecto. Al mismo tiempo la pérdida de privacidad y de seguridad puede aumentar la incidencia del hurto y de la pérdida de secretos de la compañía. Un tipo de oficina intermedia es el cubículo, que soluciona el aislamiento visual en cierto grado, pero falla a menudo en la separación y la seguridad acústica. En toda oficina se maneja un código de políticas de oficina propias. Existen varios tipos de oficina como la abierta, la cerrada, la moderna, integrada, mobiliaria y de equipos.
