Future Workplaces

Since the COVID-19 pandemic has changed a lot of work environments and how we communicate with our colleagues. The shift in how and where we are working presents an opportunity to reshape and reinvent the workplace for a life after COVID-19.

Changing how we define work as a single office location to a more work-at-home or anywhere that has internet is how experts say a lot of employees will be allowed to work. Because of cloud based technology and rapidly evolving policies concerning remote work, these predictions appear more accurate.

However, the only way this type of workplace is possible is if companies give their employees the correct tools, support and strategy.

HOW THE WORKPLACE CHANGED AT THE BEGINNING OF 2020

There was a study done in 2018 and it predicted that working from home (remote work) would equal or surpass in office work by 2025. Because of the COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020 the future has arrived sooner rather than later. A research firm released some data in April that showed 63% of United States employees worked from home due to coronavirus.

The sudden shift to remote work has introduced new issues for both employers and employees as the virus made it necessary for organizations to prioritize safety over preparedness. Other research has shown that

71% of employers struggled to adjust to remote work
65% of employers said maintaining employee morale and well-being has been a challenge
One-third faced difficulties with company culture

This may paint a grim picture, but another study by a research firm found that remote work had only a small negative impact on productivity despite significant logistical challenges.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM FUTURE WORKPLACES

As you know the workplace is looking a lot different now. Here are a few ways that future workplaces may look different

Virtual workplaces - Employers that don’t require employees to work on site may see a big turn toward virtual workplaces. Certain fields, manufacturing, distribution, health care and service-related industries will still need the majority of their employees to physically go into the workplace for the business to operate. However, jobs outside of those industries may go full remote.
Distributed offices - Since a lot more employees are working remotely, some companies or organizations may open smaller regional hubs or provide remote workers with access to local coworking spaces rather than have everyone commute to one central office.
Online meetings -Business travel and going into the office has come to a halt during the pandemic, a lot of companies have started using video conferencing more. With video conferencing the employees working remotely could safely and effectively meet and collaborate face to face with their colleagues, clients, and customers.

Everyone prospers in different settings. Some people thrive in a high energy work environment with lots of activity. For others that type of work environment can stunt their productivity. Have you found which work environment works best for you?

You are probably wondering what work environments we are talking about. There are a few to consider:

Fully remote
Partially remote
In an open-office
In a private office
On-the-go

WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL WORK ENVIRONMENT?

Fully Remote

Because of COVID-19 some companies have adopted a fully remote office setup to make sure everyone is practicing social distancing. Now that companies are easing restrictions a few are deciding that they are going to do permanent work-from-home.

PROS

Employees can work from anywhere in the world
Easier work-life boundaries for experienced remote workers
Lower expenses on commutes for employees and operational costs for companies overall

CONS

Collaboration may be sometimes affected (if teams haven’t figured out how to work together online)
Employees have to be accountable to themselves, which for some people may not work
Loneliness is a problem commonly experienced by remote employees

Partially Remote

Other companies have started setting up a partially remote office setup where employees can report into the office a few days a week and work remotely for 1-2 days. Many companies are adopting a partially remote setup before committing to a fully remote office.

PROS

Employees can switch between the different setups, which can increase engagement and productivity as they are exposed to changing environments
Teams are able to meet in person for regular meetings

CONS

In office employees may have a difficult time communicating with their remote counterparts if work is not happening at the same time

An Open-Office

Open office floor plans are often used in large companies to create an open space for employees instead of using cubicles.

PROS

Can increase communication and collaboration
Open floor plans can introduce wellness rooms and dedicated spaces for meetings and solo focused work

CONS

Boundaries maybe forgotten if employees are able to reach anyone whenever they want
Distractions can happen if there isn’t a designated area for chit-chat and meetings

A Private Office

Private offices are often associated with executives, but they may provide private offices for other people, even if for shared use.

PROS

Dedicated space for work can boost productivity
Privacy and boundaries can be enforced

CONS

May lack natural lighting or have bad ventilation
Can lead to a divide between people

On-The-Go

You may like working on your laptop anywhere; i.e., the library, coffee shop, or even at home. On the go work can mean working anywhere in the world, especially if your company supports non-existent work hours.

PROS

Have a chance to work with your natural energy
Can increase your productivity by exposing yourself to different environments

CON

Constantly being on the move can be tiring over time
You will always search for spots with internet service to work

DEFINE WHAT WORKSPACE YOU WANT

Now is the time to ask yourself some questions about what your ideal work environment is. Since we have put the different kinds of workplaces in a nice package for you, you can now decide on which one may appeal to you and what you want. The next step is to think about these thoughts that you want to be clear on

Freedom to travel - do you want to be able to have a job based in the United States, but work from Europe or live in two different cities a year while keeping your job?
Ability to meet with your team - do you want to meet with your team five-days a week?
Some time at home - do you want to spend a few days a week at home?
Human connection - do you need the connection from another human? Or do you like to communicate in person with your colleagues everyday?
