“Leaders hate seeing empty seats knowing full well how much this real estate is costing them,” says Iain Shorthose, an expert in office experiences at Paragon Workplace Solutions. “This is where it all gets divisive and mandates come in.” A priority was providing a flexible and adaptable space that was not just a place to work but a way to engage staff, build better culture and deploy technology to improve employee interactions. It wanted to think beyond office freebies.
Many companies are looking to modular furniture and fittings to adapt their offices easily for meetings, socialising or events. Companies are also having to appeal to younger recruits, who often feel less connected to the workplace, particularly since hybrid work has become commonplace. Shorthose says younger workers do “see the value of going into the workplace, but they don’t want to be told”.
