COVID The Catalyst of Office Space Change
Nobody could have predicted 2020.
And especially the consequential impact on the workplace and employee wellbeing.
Most people across the country have been working from home now for nearly a year – with no clear ‘return to office’ date in sight. Whilst landlords may have paused rent for a few months during the UK’s first lockdown, businesses need to continue to run and with employee salaries to pay, rent freezes are now a thing of the past on expensive corporate office space.
Data from a recent study shows that the overwhelming majority (over 80%) of employees now prefer flexible working or only coming into the office part time; how can businesses ensure this is financially viable for them whilst still providing those employees who choose the office life, somewhere they can work and socialise with their colleagues?
The Future is Working Hubs Outside The City
Gone are the days of uninspiring business parks.
Companies are increasingly opting to locate their employees within coworking spaces; now this is a good way to have a central ‘HQ’ for your company, keeping costs relatively low and still giving your employees the flexibility they need, many coworking spaces only offer basic ‘benefits’ such as teas and coffees, biscuits, pool tables etc.
This doesn’t have to be the norm and shouldn’t be! Especially when mental health cases in the workplace are on the rise and employees wellbeing needs just aren’t being met. Employee wellbeing and productivity are inextricably linked, with many studies attesting to the impact of good employee wellbeing on the performance of a company.
