"Project gold" and "Project Nexus" sound like plans for bank robberies or military attacks. In reality, they are the names for KPMG’ s ongoing attempt to squeeze its 6,700 London employees into ever smaller spaces. Since 2006 the professional-services firm has reduced the number of offices it uses in London from seven to two. By the spring of 2015 everybody will be crammed into one building in CanaryWharf.
Firms have long known that only about half of all desks are in use at any moment, as employees work odd hours or disappear to meetings, but it was difficult to fill the spares. Better IT systems now mean that people need not be tied to a particular desk. They need not even be in the office at all: as cloud computing and virtual offices take off, more people are working from home or from other places, further reducing the need for desks.
Aside from cheapness, there is a motive behind this squashing. Inspired by Silicon Valley, firms are trying to make their offices into "collaborative spaces", where people bump into each other and chat usefully. KPMG’s redesigned CanaryWharf offices will include lots of "breakout spaces" where employees can relax, and quiet rooms where people can get away from hubbub, says Alastair Young, who is planning the move. He thinks this will both improve productivity and save money.
In this happy new world, offices are not just places to work but also a way of expressing corporate identity and a means of attracting and retaining staff. At the offices of Bain & Company, a management consultancy, inspirational quotes on walls help workers to identify with Bain’ s brand, explains Sam Axtell, the company’ s operations director. Games rooms and relaxing spaces help them "release a waves".
Not everyone is delighted by the rise of cramped hot desks. At Broadcasting House, the BBC’s new offices in London, a shortage of good desks has led to frantic morning scrambles. A manager at a financial firm in the City complains that since his firm redesigned its office, there are only enough phones for one between two. KPMG has seen crushes at lifts and in the canteen; the crowds have also put pressure on the air-conditioning system.
Office in this happy new world is______.
选项
A、just a place to work
B、a place to attract new workers
C、a place with little corporate identity
D、a place to increase pressure
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据关键词in this happy new world定位到第四段。根据offices are not just places to work but also a way of expressing corporate identity and a means of attracting and retaining staff.可知A项“仅仅是工作的地方”错误,B项“是吸引新员工的地方”正 确,C项“是没有认同感的地方”错误。最后一句提到Games rooms and relaxing spaces help them“release a waves”,可以推断游戏室与放松空间都是帮助减轻工作压力、而不是增 加工作压力的,因此D项错误。故B项为正确选项。
