From better support for people working at home, to dynamic workplace networks that offer people more variety and choice than ever before, see why we’re excited about the future of the office.
Four Insights to Shape Workplace Strategy
- Distributed ways of working – where people are empowered to work at different times and places – aren’t new, but they’ve been accelerated by the pandemic.
- People can be productive working elsewhere, but offices still provide great value as on-demand resources for individuals and teams.
- To remain relevant, offices of the future will need to build culture and community, support individual focus and facilitate intensive teamwork.
- The work-from-home experience is different for everyone. Companies should continuously strive to help people stay healthy and productive, no matter where they are working.
Three Activities Every Office Should Support
For many people, the days of going into the office every day and sitting at the same desk for eight hours are over. But that doesn’t mean the workplace is irrelevant. Check out three types of activities people will want to do when they are in the office.
- Connect with Extended Network Areas that encourage people to interact with colleagues they don’t see every day allow people to build the relationships that are critical for maintaining culture. These spaces also help people feel a sense of purpose and belonging.
- Focus on Intensive Work Safely maintained, reservable on-site workstations are especially important since many people have difficulty focusing at home, especially on brain-intensive work.
- Collaborate with Colleagues Highly interactive settings that facilitate immersive on-site collaboration give people the time, space and tools to solve complex problems that are difficult to address remotely.
