Do we even need offices anymore?
Creating a place that exudes a collective sense of belonging gives companies an advantage.
WE GET asked all the time if there is even a future for offices today. Technology is now able to bring people from all corners of the world together for a meeting virtually without needing to be in the same room. Perhaps in the future, we can unanimously agree to eliminate the commute altogether and work from home through virtual offices, especially as virtual reality becomes even more ubiquitous and accessible.
It might be worth thinking about what offices are for in the first place.
While a workplace is fundamentally a space to work in and to readily facilitate in-person discussions, it is now increasingly also a platform to showcase the vision and values of the business as a whole. In the war for talent, this could be a critical lever to pull to enhance your company's competitive advantage.
