C OF COMPETENCE
Today, most trend forecasters tell you the office building will become a clubhouse (Relatedness). Meeting others as part of 'relatedness' covers only one-third of feeling satisfied. Relatedness is important and needs to be facilitated, but competence is the only characteristic an office building can truly facilitate, because at the office, colleagues approach each other to request their expertise. Something that is less likely to happen at home or in a coworking space.
When you design the office as a clubhouse, you miss the most important element only an office building can provide: the ability to make employees feel competent. Instead, you can design the office space that displays employee expertise in or with the building, showing what everyone is working on.
