Breakout Areas

Whether your idea of a breakout area is a section of soft seating for your staff to have a relax in, whether it’s an informal meeting area or simply a dining / canteen area – Heatons have the right products for you. Great uses for breakout areas include:

• Casual Meetings
• Relaxation
• Private Time
• One-To-One Meetings
• Informal Discussions
• Visitor Waiting Areas

If space permits, your breakout area should offer you a degree of flexibility within the centre to cater for any variety of supporting activities. Having a separate area for this purpose is important as you can leave behind your activity and focus on whatever you want to discuss, free from any constraint that a workstation, meeting room or reception area may impose.

To compliment the breakout experience it would be a good idea to offer refreshments such as a water dispenser or coffee. These seem like small details but they are part of adopting an overall approach and go a long way to making your visitors feel at ease.

Well designed breakout areas have proven to be exciting areas of the office that allow employees to relax, recharge and return to their workstations with a clear head.

"If I am honest, I hadn't heard of a 'breakout' areas until we took on a new member of staff. He'd mentioned a few times that they were ideal 'Just to get it away from it all'. I can't believe how popular it has become with the staff, a real hive of activity and great ideas. We all deserve a break from the desk after a tough morning, and this is the perfect solution."
