The government’s roadmap to recovery now in full swing. The way we work and engage with each other continues to shift in organisations around the world, questions and dilemmas continue to arise for leadership and employees alike. The main one being, how should we return to physical locations safely?
With such importance being placed upon workplace and employee safety, and rightly so, it is a question that is not being taken lightly.
Where a return to the workplace is necessary, at the heart of any plans should be a commitment to support flexible and remote working where possible. This also includes provision of support for physical and mental health for workers who cannot work from home and may be concerned about being in the workplace or travelling there.
Workplace Layout
Workplace layout can play a huge part in helping employees feel safe when they return to the office.
Before COVID, workplaces were designed primarily around their functional program. For example, desks, conference rooms and kitchens that served basic office and employee needs. However, more than a year of virtual work across organisations has proven that the functional activities of the workplace are rather easily transposed to the home or third places of convenience.
In countless workplace surveys, it’s clear that many employees see the functional and efficiency benefits of working from home. This is provided they have reliable technology systems. Conversely, they consistently note missing the qualitative aspects of work – community, culture, inspiration, collaboration, teamwork, impromptu conversation, and leadership vision. This is where the true opportunity exists. With fewer employees demanding a return to the office full time, the need for a purely functional post-COVID workplace program will decrease. This opens the potential for a whole host of important, qualitative experience space to fill the void.
