Hybrid working has provided an opportunity to balance our working week between home and the office, however for some of us, the office is the best place to get work done. This could be down to an operational need, personal preference or a working environment at home that isn’t conducive to your productivity.
The notion of hybrid working will differ between businesses, teams, roles and individuals but based on our research, 85% of staff say that it will mean working from the office for at least 1 day a week.
Due to the vast majority of people falling under this umbrella, we need to consider how we can repurpose the office to support the needs of a hybrid worker, and to do this we must first explore the ‘why’: why are they attending the office? This question should be at the core of your workplace strategy, ensuring that it is people-centric and therefore a catalyst for effective hybrid working.
The COVID lockdowns were a liberating time for some of us who realised that we could do virtually all of our day-to-day tasks from home with no impact on productivity, or possibly even an improvement.
Although these champions of remote working will likely spend the majority of their working hours at home, they will still expect the office to support them when there is a need for face-to-face interaction, or just when they feel like rubbing shoulders with their colleagues again. A workplace strategy cannot neglect the expectations of these people just because their presence in the office is infrequent – if this is overlooked, they may feel undervalued and disconnected.
At the beginning of the project a discovery workshop is held to bring key members of your senior leadership team together to define the principle project drivers and goals, key policies for future business aspirations, workstyle models to support these aspirations and measurements for success. This is captured and referred to throughout the project.
In-depth interviews are held with department representatives to gain an understanding of their current and future requirements and understand day-to-day workstyles, processes and readiness for change.
An online survey is sent to all staff to gain a greater depth of data. Questions are designed to identify current views on workplace and culture that will validate the findings from the interviews and outline the opportunities for change. User types (personas) and workstyles are defined to inform future workspace planning and design. This is the opportunity for all staff to input in the future of their workplace and for the business to understand the views of their people.
A Workplace strategy is a 100% evidence-led research and analysis process, combined with our expertise and knowledge to create the optimal output aligning people, physical place and business need.
At Morgan Lovell, we will challenge the status quo and optimise your workplace by implementing a bespoke strategy, co-created by our workplace consultants and your people.
