Everyone Must Switch Desks Every Month

At a Singaporean marketing agency, you’re never in the same seat for long. Every month, employees are required to draw a number and switch desks, meaning they constantly work next to new people in new corners of the office.

This forced mobility prevents cliques, builds cross-departmental friendships, and keeps the workspace fresh. The rule also breaks up monotony and has been credited with boosting collaboration and spontaneous idea-sharing. The downside? Saying goodbye to the cozy desk cactus you finally kept alive for four weeks straight.
