How to provide different workspace options to employees

It’s no longer news that more and more employees are demanding flexibility from their employers. Cutting down commute times, spending more time with loved ones, and increasing productivity are among the main reasons employees value flexible work so much that they’d be willing to switch jobs for it.

On the other hand, for 40% of HR and People Operations professionals, managing the hybrid workplace is the #1 priority, and with good reason - designing hybrid work the right way helps companies increase employee engagement, retain employees, attract the best talent, raise productivity levels, streamline workplace processes, and provide work-life balance to employees.

As the old 9-5 office work model slowly goes out of the mainstream, many are asking the question of whether we still need offices and physical spaces to work from.

As the employer, you need to ensure everyone is covered with a workspace that provides them to do their best work, whether they need meeting rooms, workstations, or dedicated office spaces.
