What is Activity-Based Working?

A workplace strategy where employees choose from a variety of work settings designed for different tasks throughout the day, such as quiet focus areas, collaboration zones, social spaces, and individual workstations, rather than sitting at one assigned desk.

Why it matters in hiring

Activity-Based Working comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
