If you lack security and privacy at your workplace (ex. through bad furniture design and office planning) you unconsciously establish alternate security domains around your workplace through your behavior.

Some of these behaviors are named like: aggressive, affective, deviant, elusive, threatening, antisocial, defensive, incommunicative, arrogant, reserved, .. Definitely all adjectives are not compliant to your corporate culture and in fact not helpful to be efficient and competitive. Also these behaviors may cause long term affliction to the poor person itself.

On the contrary: A secure ergonomic workplace environment can foster true communication and social intelligence for new ideas and better competitiveness while at the same time providing more quality of live at the workplace.
