The Corona crisis has pushed the question of how we work in the future to the top of the priority list for both employees and companies. In the meantime, the majority of employees also want more flexibility in the choice of work location and working hours. For companies, the question raises of how to deal with unoccupied office space, then.
Communication and cooperation with colleagues and other teams are essential components of today's everyday working life. In the future, the office will increasingly take on the role as a place for exchange, while ones home is often the appropriate place for concentrated work.
The design of the office should also take this into account and, above all, provides sufficient meeting facilities. This promotes productive team and project work within the company. In addition to conference rooms, appropriately designed open spaces with meeting points and lounge areas are suitable for this purpose. Telephone and meeting boxes with space for up to 6 people also serve as meeting facilities in more and more company offices.
For companies that want to design their offices considering this trend, the current changes in the world of work offer the ideal opportunity to adapt the office concepts and create a productive working environment for the employees.
Another way to deal with vacant office space is to rent out workstations to external people. The home office is not a suitable alternative to working in an office for everyone. This is because many employees associate the home office with isolated work. It is also not easy to set up a productive workplace in every home.
As a result, other mobile working options are becoming interesting to many employees. Co-working spaces have been recording growing user numbers for years. In metropolitan areas, many cafés have already set up separate areas that can be used as workplaces. And even hotels are now offering their unused hotel rooms as workspaces.
