What’s your workplace why?
Our second edition of a leader’s guide to the post-pandemic people and place debate
The landscape is still fluid
The pandemic changed the corporate workplace landscape forever. It forced organisations to make structural decisions on their people and place strategies whilst understanding the shift to hybrid working. Although riddled with risk, it has provided organisations with an immense opportunity. Leaders must ask themselves: do they have the right information to adapt to this landscape?

Between a rock and a hard place
The continuing media threats of a ‘great resignation’ suggest location flexibility is a critical component in talent strategies. So, do you mandate employees’ return to your workplaces or do you leave them remote? Employees have proven they can work effectively from home, so why should they concede to instructions to come back when the average home supports the average employee better than the average office?

Experience is critical
The evidence is conclusive. Employees who have a great experience in corporate workplaces want to get back to them for the majority of the working week. But those who have a poor experience are better off at home. This will upend your business’ historic operational and financial justifications for workplace and mean your existing workplace supply chains will need radical remodelling.

Working in isolation
Building a flexible work and place system will rely on deploying new processes that can bend and adjust with the needs of a more fluid approach to where your workforce is based.

Purposeful Presence
Employees are spending more time planning their visits to the office than ever before and questioning the purpose of their journey. The considerations being placed on going to the office are bringing the same logistical burdens as a long weekend at a hotel.
