There is no doubt that the current
pandemic has changed the way we work
forever, as we limp through our third lockdown,
millions of facilities managers around
the globe are asking themselves the same
questions.
1. How do we get our employees back
to the o ice?
2. How do we make our current o ices Covid
secure?
3. Is home working here to stay?
4. What innovative & compliant home
working products are available?
5. Will the future o ice change, and what
will it look like?
Over the last nine months we have been
addressing these issues with our clients, which has
led to the creation of “Back to Better” a workplace
approach book, our considered view of current work
environments in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We believe home working
will be a key factor in companies future, flexible
work strategy, so we’ve developed a range of
products to suit the diversity of home working
environments, addressing issues with ergonomic
and DSE compliance as well as tackling the issue of
hiding the task chair and creating furniture with a
pleasing domestic aesthetic.
THE FUTURE OF WORK
For many companies, adopting home working and
the use of third spaces as part of a flexible work
strategy will change the purpose of their existing
o ice space. With a new emphasis on in-person
collaboration, decreasing desk space allocation
and a reduction in occupational density.
These new o ices will need more social space
with collaboration hubs to support team working,
face-to-face meetings and social interaction that
we miss from working at home.
These spaces will also support shared learning,
career development and communicate a
company’s brand and culture which all help to
improve an employees well-being.
Some companies will take financial advantage of
a reduced o ice footprint or consolidation of their
real estate while others will choose to re-model
to promote increased collaborative zones without
overly decreasing individual focused work
settings.
We address 3 key main topics
Returning to the existing o ice space that some of
us haven’t been to since March
Emergency and future homeworking with new
innovative products
Our views on the future workplace, which is
undoubtedly set to change
‘Flexibility will be key to supporting
employees and giving them the freedom to work
to the best of their ability in a variety
of settings’
NEW WAYS OF WORKING
We have supported many forward thinking clients
with o ice design and fit-out to support their
new flexible, future work strategy. COVID-19 is
essentially fast-forwarding this implementation of
change that was already underway.

need to support your future work strategy
