AB  - Over plan office design has become more and more prevalent over the past few years. To the planner it gives maximum flexibility in the use of available space and to the employee, working in a properly designed scheme, it gives spacious, pleasantly -landscaped- surroundings. Very often, however, unforeseen and undesired effects may be noticed by the office staff.
