New research is showing that change is good when it comes to where you sit at work. A recent article in the WSJ notes that intermingling different work departments in seating charts – and switching up those charts every 6 months or so – has led to innovation in several companies, at a low cost. Temperaments also effect productivity, and can be contagious – two opposite ends – a calm, relaxed state and a nervous, stressed state are found to be the most contagious, effecting the people and work being done in proximity.
