Great to see Caitlin Turner, director of Interiors at HOK, share her thoughts on workplace design and the move away from hot desking in Bloomberg News! “Clients don’t want to give employees any excuse not to come in. If you want them to share desks, they say, ‘Why should we?’” With office occupancy still shifting post-pandemic, dedicated desks are seen as a way to make the office more appealing and encourage office attendance. Personalized desks also provide psychological and physical comfort, reducing the hassle of setting up a workspace daily.

Breaking the sound barrier: The impact of office noise on the working day JLL’s latest global survey ‘Is hybrid really working?’ found 58% of employees still consider their home environment superior for focused work, while 45% believe it better supports their overall productivity. More than a quarter cited office noise and inability to focus as a reason to work from home. Keeping this in mind, designing offices with a diversity of spaces suitable for different types of work is extraordinarily important in empowering individuals to be productive throughout their day. This can include pods, phone booths and other enclosures, as well as using innovative sound-insulating furnishings and surface sprays, plus technical acoustic solutions such as ceiling baffles and wall cladding, to absorb noise.

Hey Alan Carr and Michelle Ogundehin, when are the ‘Interior Design Masters’ going to do an office? 😀 Be a ‘magnet’ into the office, not a ‘mandate’. On my travels, I see a wide range of workplaces and it’s fascinating to see the theory of post-pandemic work environments becoming reality. I visit some stunning buildings - I would want to travel in to work in them, even if it wasn’t the ‘anchor day' or I didn’t have a f2f meeting. These buildings cater for the variety of work interactions (sole quiet work, collaborative groupings, informal socials, inclusive and differentiated spaces) in an attractive environment (the light, the creative layouts, the seating options, the interior design, the sense of belonging). Thanks to Kate Clarke for giving me the school day on the *Leesman Index* and *Certification*: The world’s largest workplace experience database that helps organisations benchmark and link the quality of their workplace to the performance of their people. I like their collaboration with MIT, 'The Hybrid Future', into the global impact of our 21st century rapid shift into hybrid working - on organisations, commerce, humans, city centres, real estate, and essentially what an office is for. Check out their article on the *Eight Core Functions of an Office* – are you effectively catering for all of them? https://lnkd.in/gKVhj2ib

The 'ideal workplace' has changed drastically in the last few years, with most companies taking a more humanistic approach to office design. 🛋 🤗 It's no secret that open-plan working environments are the new normal and cramped cubicle desks are a concept of the past. But why are in-office break-out areas so important? Find out here: https://lnkd.in/eb4Hbq8B #breakoutareas #officedesign #wellbeing

Is "Office Peacocking" the Key to Bringing Employees Back? The term "office peacocking" might conjure up images of flamboyant suits and attention-grabbing antics. But in the age of hybrid work, it's taken on a new meaning. What is it? Companies are using "office peacocking" to create workspaces so attractive, employees will be eager to ditch the home office. Think fancy décor, gourmet kitchens, and even napping pods! Does it work? The jury's still out. While these perks are nice, flexibility and a strong company culture are often more important to employees. Here are some questions to consider: Is it sustainable? Can companies maintain these extravagant spaces long-term? Does it address the real issues? Are employees looking for a luxury hotel or a place to feel valued and productive? What about remote workers? Will these lavish offices create an "us vs. them" mentality? What are your thoughts? Is "office peacocking" a smart move, or a misguided attempt to win back employees? Let's discuss in the comments! #futureofwork #hybridwork #workplaceculture
