How to Retain and Attract the Hybrid Workforce
It’s an interesting time in the world, some places are returning to normal, and others have forever changed post pandemic. Not only are places changing, but how we interact with those spaces has changed. With the rise of the hybrid workforce, there are going to be even bigger shifts in the way we work, and where we work.
Agile offices are looking to meet the needs of the hybrid workforce in a myriad of ways. This includes rearranging and reorganizing the workplace itself.
Neighborhooding
Dividing the office into working, functional spaces that are pleasant to be in is a common trend we’ve seen in the last several years that was only accelerated by the pandemic. Neighborhoods are excellent for teamwork and collaboration, as well as for providing quiet spaces to get individual work done. Easily create space dividers from casework or modular walls that can be made up of any combination of storage, lockers, and even media displays.
The Modern Mudroom
Looking for a way to stream line reception, personal storage and visitor management? The modern mudroom is what you need. Place beautifully designed smart lockers in the reception area that perfectly match your brand image. These personal storage lockers provide secure storage for employees and visitors alike. Integrations with existing media gives a cohesive user experience. Set aside certain lockers for parcel delivery. Being able to have a package, or even food, securely delivered to the office is the kind of perk that will delight your employees.
The Agile Pantry
Revamp your current pantry into a space that employees will love to use. The communal space is perfect for on the fly collaboration and having those casual conversations that lead to great innovations. Use modular walls with sound dampening panels to reduce noise. The selection of casework finishes for the office kitchen will enhance the look and feel of any space.
Ultimately, there’s endless possibilities when attempting to attract and retain top talent. Just don’t forget that even the hybrid workforce wants an office space that’s pleasant to be in, or why even come into office? Provide them with a second space that delights and inspires.
