We are experiencing a paradoxical moment: after many months of remote work, the largely desired return to the office comes with new expectations and requirements. This fall 2021, companies must look to the future and not simply offer their employees a return to the old world. Let’s look together at the major office trends for this back-to-school season 2021:
A Change of Scenery and More Flexible Organization
Gone are the long rows of impersonal desks in vast open spaces; offices at the end of 2021 are breaking down walls and facilitating interactions. They encourage innovation and exchanges between departments. They feel better than home for working.
Re-enchanting the Office
Despite the positive impact of remote work on work-life balance, the social assessment is mixed. Half of employees say they feel disenchanted at work, lacking human interactions and needing to reconnect. Companies must therefore offer them different conditions: 83% of French people want more human offices that promote well-being with socialization spaces.
Flex Office: Proven by 3
Already very popular before the pandemic, flex office offers 3 major advantages:
- Flexibility to support this new hybrid office/remote work solution, allowing employees to settle wherever they want based on what they are doing.
- Creating social connections through the development of collaborative spaces to encourage exchanges and foster creativity.
- Information flow, provided that layout is considered an essential element of office organization.
