“While the coronavirus has upended the way we work, it has also made companies rethink their workplace strategy and company culture.”
When employees begin to return to the office once the outbreak is contained, we will start seeing some companies springing forth to embrace this culture change. They may refit their offices to best reflect these new dynamic practices. In terms of design, this could take the form of giving more choices in the type of spaces people can choose to work from to suit what they're doing - be it a focused task or more collaborative work.
As companies become more willing to adopt flexible working and work from home policies, the practice of flex space will be a fixture in portfolio management. It will likely form a larger share of a firm's corporate real estate planning. This could, in turn, influence organisations to hunt for smaller and a wider network of multiple locations to operate in.
The workplace forms an important part of an organisation as it is the physical manifestation of a company's culture and brand. In the future we may see the purpose of the office shift from the place where you do your work to the place where you connect, a location that focuses on brand, clients, co-workers and external partnerships. Instead of merely a place to be productive, the workplace will evolve to serve as a catalyst for employee engagement and experiences.
