Human Responsive Design and Human Resource Development = HRD2
In their book, Building Community in Buildings, the Design and Culture of Dynamic Workplaces, Jana Kemp and Ken Baker identify six variables that are key to productive workplaces. Productivity for the corporation makes economic sense as small increases in productivity can mean large gains on the bottom line. For example, when the Herman Miller Company built their new production facility in 1996 they focused on environmental design elements such as daylighting, garden, spaces and operable windows for office staff. The resulting measured productivity gains paid for the human responsive design elements in only a few months.
How does your company want to be seen by your community? How would you like your employees to view the company? Is your facility responsive to staff and visitor needs through responsiveness to the site, the climate, and the culture of the area? Are you building your business through a process of building community?
