The COVID-19 outbreak has undoubtedly transformed the way millions of people are working, but it is expected to have an impact on work long after this pandemic is over.

Once the coronavirus outbreak is over and people return to their normal routines, companies will need to reevaluate how their office design can attract and retain talent.

Creating a truly sustainable work environment goes beyond the latest technology and architectural features — it starts with how a company’s culture impacts employees.

Hackability refers to shapeshifting a workspace with agile furniture to accommodate the workers’ needs, whether that be open areas, private pods, meeting rooms and more.

As companies continue adopting a work-from-home policy, it is vital for remote workers to build an environment that nurtures as much productivity as a physical office.

In order to better support employee wellness, companies need to include a variety of work areas such as collaborative spaces, private offices and more to combat burnout.

Creating an efficient work environment can be accomplished several ways, whether it’s adding art that triggers creativity, or working in a collaborative flexible office.

Workplace designers are renewing their focus to ensure that workspaces support cognitive and neurodiversity, mental and physical well-being and become more user-centric.

Conference rooms are typically used by small groups of people, but acoustic pods can allow companies to cut costs while offering workers access to a more private space.

Coworking and flexible office demand continues to grow as corporate tenants look for workspaces that provide community, ability to scale, wellness amenities and more.

Open plan offices have become popular over the past few years, but business owners need a balance of privacy and collaboration to ensure their workers are productive.

Work environments can make or break how well employees complete their daily tasks, so it is vital that offices design their spaces to boost productivity and wellbeing.
