Understanding the Challenge of Free Address Workspaces
The concept of free address workspaces, while innovative, presents unique challenges that can vary significantly across different generations. To address these issues, Lilycolor Corporation’s Space Solutions Division, in collaboration with WHERE Co., Ltd., is hosting a free online seminar titled _"Free Address Challenges: Where Do They Start? Decoding Workspace Improvement Strategies Through Generational Behavior and Tool Utilization."_ This seminar will run from July 15 to 17, 2025, and aims to shine a light on the distinct needs and behaviors across generations in the workplace.
The seminar's core message resonates with the idea that one's _"ease of working"_ can often clash with another's _"struggles of working."_ This is especially true in a free address arrangement where the freedom to choose workspaces can inadvertently create stress and a sense of disorganization for some employees. The requirements from an office environment change based on factors such as generation and even the specific day, thus creating a pressing need for modern companies to develop workspaces that embrace these diverse perspectives and establish effective operational designs.
During the seminar, participants will gain insights into the ideals of workplace design that resonate with every generation based on their unique values and behavioral patterns. Attendees will also learn about the
EXOffice seating management system and strategies to uncover and address challenges associated with free address systems effectively. Ultimately, the seminar will explore ways to enhance operational efficiency and improve the comfort of employees in their work environments.
To make the learning experience even more insightful, the seminar will include real-world examples from Lilycolor’s office transformation that took place in April 2025, showcasing the free address setup. Leaders from both Lilycolor and WHERE will conduct an analysis to evaluate the actual outcomes of the layout changes, integrating knowledge gained from both parts of the seminar. They will engage in discussions to determine whether the changes made indeed yielded the desired results as measured by the
EXOffice platform.
This seminar promises valuable insights, turning the _“stumbles”_ in free address implementations into _“awareness”_ opportunities. It will present optimal solutions for creating inclusive office environments that cater seamlessly to all employees.
