Company leaders are at a crossroads and determining what direction they want to steer their operations. This involves weighing out how to bring employees back into the workplace in a safe manner, as well as permanently adopting flexible work arrangements.
Employers will need to challenge their own school of thought in what makes a workplace the most efficient and productive. This means disposing the idea that presence and productivity are synonymous. Reevaluating the best strategies that promotes the wellbeing of workers and helping them avoid burnout will also be necessary moving forward.
But as time has proven, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to creating the most impactful workplace. How, when and where we work, the safety of the workplace, as well as the level of collaboration and productivity accomplished are all intertwined. Some experts claim that solely remote working is the best option for companies, while others insist that commercial office space is nonessential.
Ideally, the best way to acknowledge necessary changes in the office is to ask employees what they need or expect from their workplace. Almost equally important is who you ask these questions to. Ensuring that there are a variety of answers provides business leaders with diverse opinions, experiences and ideas that will better shape the company.
Once your data has been collected, utilize the information to reach a common ground with all workers to guarantee they are satisfied with their company’s idea of the future of work.
