Enhance office space. Make the office a place that attracts employees. Research shows that quality workplace design reduces stress and increases productivity. An overwhelming 87% of employees said they want healthier workspaces that include wellness rooms, standing desks, ergonomic seating, natural light, and fresh air. Improve technology. As businesses navigate flexible workspace, it’s critical to install the right technology to facilitate remote collaboration with onsite employees. Investing in top-quality hardware and IT infrastructure ensures that teams remain productive and connected, regardless of working in the office, at home, or from another remote location. Top tech also keeps employees frustration-free and productive. Reestablish company culture. Reengage employees through empathy and shared leadership. Company culture improves when leaders provide greater transparency and better communication of purpose, values, and goals. The pandemic has also left people seeking stronger connections with local and global communities. Many organizations are placing greater emphasis on culture, core values, and community, resulting in employees feeling deeper respect and pride in the positive impact beyond office walls. Gensler explains how community impact is a key strategy in returning to the office.
