Inside the London hub, tables are equipped with high-definition screens and cameras, while private meeting rooms host virtual catch-ups between in-person staff and remote workers. A tech bar for laptop repairs is kitted out to support work-from-home enthusiasts as quickly as those in the office. The telecom giant is not the only company shaking up its workplaces. A recent poll by office research firm Leesman found 94% of businesses plan to make physical changes to their workplaces to support workers’ post-pandemic needs. The survey of 125 real estate developers found more than 80% had already made alterations.
BT’s new office attempts to blend work and leisure with on-site yoga sessions, choir classes and a continental buffet bar. The firm hopes these quirks will boost office numbers by creating a “fear of missing out” effect among staff.
