We'd like to share our observations on the common workplace changes taking place to ensure the health and safety of all employees post Covid-19!
Private spaces
While agile spaces will remain, there will be a greater focus on using portable walls to divide spaces and provide privacy.Technology
With an increased % of people working remotely, there will be a strong reliance on efficient technologies to stay connected and support daily work activities.
Enhanced Hygiene
Workplaces will have a greater need to maintain personal hygiene. Frequent cleaning of workplaces, ensuring airflow is sufficient, and providing appropriate PPE.
Mental Health
Workplaces that promote mental health and support people with mental disorders are more likely to reduce absenteeism, increase productivity and benefit from associated economic gains.
Flexible Arrangements
We all had a taste of it and now we expect it to stay. Workplaces are acknowledging the positive outcomes of flexible arrangements in boosting staff morale and improving physical and mental well-being. Not only is this being used in recruitment negotiations, but more and more workplaces are adopting this as permanent policy.
Touch-Less Tech
Touchless technologies are becoming the new norm in offices across the globe as concerns over employee health and safety continue to inundate us. Think contactless employee check-ins, auto taps and dispensers and automated entrances.
If you’d like to hear more on our thoughts, get in touch. We are observing major workplace transformations amongst our clients particularly from a design perspective and relocating offices.
