The seismic change in the way we work now is here to stay but the future will be a mix of people working from home and at the office.
This ‘new norm’ of working will have major implications according to a report out today by the British Contract Furnishing Association who believe that there will be a mix of home and office working
Before February this year, there were few companies with formal agreements for flexible or homeworking. Many have now learned that remote working can be productive.This has led to predictions of radical changes to the world of work and potentially the end of the office says the report
It is unlikely that people will go
back into the office in the same way as they did pre- pandemic say the authors.
However, the office cannot be replaced for building team culture, team cohesion, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.These elements of work life rely on close contact between teams.
The future of work will see a combination of work in the office and remote working, where businesses find flexible policies based on their own needs.
