Letter from the editor

As office design and communications trends change, so has the format of our magazine. Welcome to our new digital version of Impact. How fitting that this inaugural digital issue explores the future of the workplace and how melding technology and personal touch can increase productivity and foster creativity.

Workspaces are becoming as chat-friendly as they are tech-friendly as the need for human connection influences office design trends. The limited collaborative working areas of today will evolve into flexible office environments of tomorrow, not only stimulating creative thinking and innovation, but making employees happier, too.

Another way to boost morale could be scents of peppermint and vanilla filtered through an office — instead of the occasional burned popcorn odor. Companies providing this subtle form of aromatherapy have successfully promoted alertness and productivity in the workplace.

We appreciate everyone who has told us that Impact is a dynamic, valued resource. We hope our timely articles and new format continue to inspire you. Please keep the conversations going by sharing your thoughts and ideas with me at SamanthaSwick@OMWorkspace.com.
