Nurture employees and let it reflect in your workspace:
An enterprise's primary goal should be investing and nurturing its employees and promoting an environment which fosters trust, growth and innovation. Happy and satisfied employees are 'motivated' employees who can drive organizational growth. Organizations’ attitude towards work culture should reflect in their office spaces and hiring practices as well. It is always advisable for companies to create an 'open-environment' for employees that fosters their lateral thinking, keeps them balanced and sparks innovation in them. A flat organizational structure, helps in cultivating an open atmosphere for employees to bring their ideas to life and innovate new ways of executing the traditional activities.

Startups aim at providing outstanding work environment which nurtures and develops talent across all levels. The vision of creating an 'open-environment' should be reflected in office structures as well. The 'future' of teams is going to be all about bringing down the walls - not just in terms of hierarchy but also in terms of office spaces too. Creating cabin free offices and having transparent glass walls makes the top management easily accessible to all the employees.
