THE FUTURE OF THE WORKSPACE: THE OFFICE VS WORKING REMOTELY Article Originally Published on summertown.ae
Working from Home Working from Home was an option given to many employees during the depth of the COVID-19 pandemic, and many people now enjoy the flexibility it provides. Having proved that we can all work remotely, is the office or workplace we have known for so long gone? In The United Workplace, we asked our own staff and external stakeholders to share their thoughts on working remotely.
Key Survey Insight From the several hundred responses across the UK, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates. • 87% people missed ‘face to face’ interaction the most about the office environment (85% in the UAE).
What do you find challenging when working from home in the current climate?
Surveys Across all the regions surveyed, the three biggest challenges people have when working from home were: • 65%miss their colleagues. • 39% found they had uncomfortable seating/desk. • 35% found it difficult to switch off.
In Conclusion • While working from home may have its benefits, the office will always remain an integral part of the new ways of working. • People need to collaborate with their colleagues in order to achieve the objectives of their organizations, and remote working can make team work challenging at times. • Companies need to identify what can be done remotely by utilizing technology versus what really needs face-to-face interaction, and then adjust their physical workspaces to meet these requirements.
