What is the difference between benching and activity-based working?

Activity-based working (ABW) is a workplace strategy where no employee has an assigned desk — instead, they choose a workspace suited to their current task (benching for collaboration, focus rooms for deep work, lounge for informal meetings). Benching is a common furniture element within ABW environments. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we have extensive experience specifying furniture for ABW environments — call 1-800-460-0858 for an ABW-oriented furniture consultation.
