Why Two Screens
We've standardized on two screens here at TheLadders.com -- all employees have two computer monitors on their desk, and some have 3. One lunatic even has four! ;)
My VP, Technology dug up this article on the improved productivity:
Another part of the article he found interesting was:
Gloria Mark compares this to the way that people work when they are "co-located" - sitting next to each other in cubicles - versus how they work when they are "distributed," each working from different locations and interacting online. She discovered that people in open-cubicle offices suffer more interruptions than those who work remotely. But they have better interruptions, because their co-workers have a social sense of what they are doing. When you work next to other people, they can sense whether you're deeply immersed, panicking or relatively free and ready to talk - and they interrupt you accordingly.
Workspace design is so important for productivity!
