Since the pandemic there has been a significant shift towards more flexible working practices, with businesses rethinking their office accommodation strategies to adapt to the changing nature of the world of work. Today, it’s increasingly clear that the future of work is hybrid.
Whilst many people still enjoy the flexibility of working remotely, others have found it contributes to feelings of isolation and lack of motivation. Creating a workplace based around hybrid working can solve these problems and make staff keen to return to the workplace.
What is a Hybrid Office?
A hybrid office combines both remote and office working to give employees more flexibility to choose when, where and how they work best. It’s an innovative solution to work that provides the best of both worlds, fostering collaboration and boosting productivity whilst maintaining a work-life balance.
The Rise of Hybrid Work
It could be argued that businesses were questioning their working environments well before the advent of Covid. More and more offices were open plan and were becoming increasingly overcrowded, creating distracting and unhealthy spaces that undoubtedly impacted on performance and job satisfaction.
The rise of hybrid work is supported by a recent study by YouGov*, which shows that 43% of workers now prefer hybrid working options, with an additional 21% saying they want to return to the office permanently.
As a result, many companies are actively taking steps to tailor their office spaces to suit the evolving landscape of flexible work.
