<\/p>\n\n\n\nShould we return or redesign the office?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the pandemic, there are still unsolved issues about in-person work. We should rethink the working experience as a whole and learn from what we have lived in the recent past.
Return to the office<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When the pandemic was controlled, there was a moment we thought we could go back to the office whatsoever. How many times did we desire to go out, have a chat with our peers and see other human faces? Well, the thing is we didn\u2019t fully understand that we couldn\u2019t come out unharmed from the quarantine period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are not the same, the world changed, and we changed. There is no going back to the pre-pandemic workplace. The answer to this challenge seems to redesign the office rather than push employees to return to work everyday as they used to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Envisioning the office that employees will return to<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rethinking new ways of working is the best any company can do at this time. Knowing what your employees need and want is crucial to make these decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can help you with some trends that can pay the way for a better working environment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Considering work modes rather than working hours<\/strong> There is a moment of the day that can be called your working time. But now, we are looking for a better work-life balance that can be reached by rethinking our way of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Redesigning the workplace is considering working nodes and leaving the concept of rigid working days. Adapt to the idea of what does the work need to be done, and what\u2019s the best use of time and place you can do to meet the weekly objectives, is one of the biggest challenges of the moment<\/strong>. Keep that in mind and you\u2019ll take straightforward steps to thrive as a flexible office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some work modes are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Concentration: just focus, quiet places and no notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Collaboration: moments or meetings to think together as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Connection: chatting and bonding is essential for a happy and engaged team. The little chat on the kitchen it\u2019s still important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Breaks: refreshing is working time too. Set time for this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maximizing the benefits of in-person and remote work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can decide whether these working modes can be done in-person or in a remote environment, you can try both and then decide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Returning to the office should be a choice and a benefit for every employee, not a challenge. Ready to make this flexible working space?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sarah Bankins, Macquarie University.
