Reimagine Your Workplace 

With many of you now back in the office, perhaps you’re wondering what the new working environment should look like? Or do you need advice on choosing and designing the best layout for your business in a fast-evolving market?  

Property experts and members Knight Frank can help. They have examined the future of the office in two white papers; 12 Dynamics of the post-Covid-19 Workplace, and Re-Imagining the Workplace. The white papers explore the key factors expected to influence workplace strategy, then offer strategies to realise successful transformation.  

Knight Frank suggests the new landscape may include greater emphasis on staff wellbeing, demand for more sustainable buildings, a rethink on a business’s global footprint and whether to onshore more operations. Companies should focus on improving the quality and flexibility of their real estate to offer a working experience that’s worth commuting for. 

Tips to transform effectively and reap the benefits include first understanding your business and employee needs, developing a workplace service strategy, implementing change management with good communication, and ensuring there is continuous process improvement. 

Knight Frank’s findings encourage businesses to seize the opportunities the next few months will bring. The white papers will help office planners find the right balance between serviced offices, working from home and using shared workspace options.
