The office I work in is very large. That has a down side as you might not see all the people you want to on a daily basis but it also has an upside. If you have a hobby that you like to share with others, you can always find someone who is interested in what you are doing. The problem is finding that person. That’s why we have installed enclosed bulletin boards in the break rooms of our office.
It’s nice to read all the different things that people put up. The enclosed cork bulletin boards are very nice as you can easily pin up a note about whatever you want. It might be a notice of someone’s birthday or a fishing trip that will be scheduled for the next weekend. Of course there are always a few comic strips about working in an office, but that is to be expected. A little humor never hurts anyone if it is in good taste.
The hallways of our office need to be a bit fancier. We have customers who come through there and we want the place to look nice. That’s why we use enclosed fabric bulletin boards in those areas. They are usually a bit more formal than the ones in the break room, but they serve an important service as well. The whole project is working well so far and we hope to have more good ideas like this.
