Yoga, beekeeping and ‘Ottolenghi-style’ restaurants: How law firms are luring staff back to the office.
Research from estate agency Cushman & Wakefield showed that staff now care as much about what their workplace is like and where it is as they do about pay.
“We’ve been shown places with free hiring of Brompton [bicycles], yoga studios, and if I hear the phrase ‘Ottolenghi-style brasserie’ one more time I might kill someone.” “It’s more open plan, there’s a collaboration space which includes tables with lots of tech on them, a kitchen area that’s a destination point, with sofas and a TV. We’ve all gathered there to watch the World Cup ... It gets people in,” said Tamara Box, the firm’s managing partner for Europe and the Middle East.Reed Smith has said its new office could generate modest cost savings over the long term.
She added: “I don’t think wormeries and beehives [alone] are going to cut it with the younger generations ... People are coming in to see other people, they’re not coming in for doughnuts or beehives.”
