The "Smart Workspace" as the office of the future has been developed by Microsoft Head of Human Resources Markus Köhler in close collaboration with the Fraunhofer IAO. The focus is on "our diverse employees with their different needs and talents as well as individual requirements for their workplace and type of work". Flexibility is not just an empty phrase here, but a deliberate principle.
