Companies are rethinking their office spaces as the growth of hybrid working means the workplace has to compete with homes and other locations as attractive places to get work done.
Workspaces will have to be designed to facilitate collaboration and be appreciably better than working at home, according to property experts.
Before the pandemic, employees at recruitment group Michael Page had a desk with a traditional desktop computer. But the company has switched to laptops as workers move more freely between home and the office. That has led to changes in where people sit, the space they need and their purpose for coming to the office, admits Mike Kirk, managing director for the UK, Ireland and North America.
