Article by Charles Handy debating the necessity of the office space as a place for workers to be during all working hours. Handy begins the article describing how contemporary American cities contain a great deal of skyscrapers, which contain large amounts of unused office space. He goes on to explain how office buildings are one of the most expensive assets of many firms, and that an organization’s practice of gathering all employees into one building at the same time may have to be reconsidered. Handy then offers the suggestion that company office space could better be used as a business club, in which would take place meetings, occasional work using specialized equipment, or appointments with visitors. He proceeds to indicate that a substantial quantity of British workers are now self-employed, and that this signals the growth of worker independence from the traditional office.
