Return To Office Rise In 2023 | MPH

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to recede, many companies in the UK are planning to bring their employees back into the office. After over a year of remote work, this transition presents new challenges and opportunities. In this blog, we'll explore the factors companies are considering as they plan to bring their employees back into the office, what the new workplace will look like, and how employees feel about the transition.

There are a few factors companies are considering as they plan for the return to office work. First and foremost, they want to ensure the health and safety of their employees. This means implementing measures like social distancing, increased sanitation, and mask requirements. Many companies are also considering a hybrid approach to work, with employees working some days in the office and some days from home. This can help limit the number of people in the office at any given time and give employees more flexibility.

Another factor companies are considering is how to create a collaborative and productive work environment. Remote work has shown that many jobs can be done from home, but there are also benefits to being in the office. Collaboration is often easier in person, and working in a dedicated workspace can help people stay focused and motivated. Companies are looking for ways to balance these benefits with the desire for flexibility and work-life balance that many employees have developed during the pandemic.

The return to office work will also likely see changes in office design and layout. Many companies are rethinking their office spaces, with an eye toward creating spaces that promote collaboration and creativity. This may mean more open floor plans, flexible workspaces, and areas for socializing and relaxation. Additionally, companies are also investing in technology to support remote work, such as video conferencing equipment and collaboration tools.

This is where offices and workspaces such as Evolve in Colchester would be perfect for new ways of working. It’s a functional, flexible, high-end workspace which has been designed to produce a harmonious working environment where small businesses can flourish, grow and inter-relate as an enterprising community. The two storey Barn is the central hub of Evolve and provides an exclusive combination of lifestyle and executive facilities to include:

• Interior designed double height reception and communal lobby

• Extensive open plan break-out area for informal meeting, relaxation and social networking

• Additional customer car parking

• Designated cycle parking areas

Workspaces like this create opportunities for collaboration and productivity. Ultimately, the success of the return to office work will depend on the ability of companies to create a workplace that supports employee needs and priorities.
