2. Google, Facebook, and Twitter, all technology giants, have created the
“Bleisure” Revolution, where business and pleasure are mixed. Taken from
the two thoughts, they have created a mix of social and working spaces to
increase productivity and creativity in the workplace.
Today‟s tech giants value work efficiency and employee growth, hence
the investment inspecially designed work spaces conducive to creativity and
positivity—challenging companies to invest in people skills more to cultivate
employee job satisfaction and motivation.

3. The upcoming young workforce generation‟s perception of the
professional world greatly differs from those of their predecessors—
3 in 4 graduates believe that the 9-5 office culture will end and
virtual networks would result in better employee engagement and
productivity, and 86% believe that the most successful companies
are those willing to harness transformation‟s benefits.

4. Working Socially
The working culture that is “bleisure,” encourages the co-existence
of work and play, blurring the lines of social and business matters.
The number of people on social media continues to increase—
forcing businesses to create a strong social media presence;
therefore, pushing businesses to shift work online. Amidst cloud
storage, messaging, file sharing, and group conference
technologies, employees need not be at their workstations to fulfil
their duties.

5. Social tools in the workplace, both virtually and realistically, are
considered valuable by employees, 77% of which say that they
prefer using new technology that improve their work output and
efficiency at work, while 31% are willing to use their own money on
new tech or tools that would assure better work performance or
quality and productivity. Technology and opportunities that foster
interaction, collaboration and brainstorming among employees are
likely to yield better results than those confined to work on their
own.
As the biggest names on the Internet have created a new way of
getting the job done, more businesses have adapted the rising
trend in office behaviour by turning all spaces into thinking
spaces—transforming all communal areas into areas fit for work
and productivity, both individually and collaboratively.

6. According to the 2014 Bleisure Report, those immersed in the so-called
bleisure culture are the Millennials aged 25-34—the entrepreneurial types
who would turn a night out into a networking opportunity. Moreover, 24% of
employees, whose companies promote a „balanced workplace,‟ thrive in their
working environment, showing 21% more effective focus, 20% more valuable
collaboration, and 36% work satisfaction.
Work Spaces that Work Best
Workplaces that provide more
options for areas work or gather in,
have employees who are more
satisfied with their jobs, have
higher effectiveness scores, while
those that have less working
space choices show low effectiveness, decreased experience, and consider
company policies and regulations as a hindrance to their work productivity.

7. Google, Facebook, and Twitter have
designed their workplaces in line with
their company‟s personality—creating
spaces that provide social gathering
doubles as meeting places that may
foster ideas and increase opportunities
for innovation.
The three most influential figures
stressed how vital the workplace is for
employees to deliver and surpass
expectations, pointing out that standard
commercial fitouts should increase
employees‟ productivity and foster skills
that rein in changes for the improvement
of the business.
