Neetish Sarda: The 'Hybrid' Future of Work and Offices

 


Managed office space providers allow maximum agility and the additional benefits of value-added services to clients. Large monolithic buildings will become a thing of the past as employees will congregate in open spaces. Key magnet locations, such as the headquarters and regional offices, will become smaller in size but will remain highly amenitized, keeping in mind the pre and post-COVID scenarios. 

The shift to a hybrid model is inevitable, but will no longer be limited to providing laptops, comfortable workstations, vibrant offices to the workforce. Instead, it will be aligned with elevated needs and behaviours of the workforce. Office space providers have to change the way they have been managing the offices. By providing latest touchless tech upgrades in addition to configured spaces, sitting arrangements, reframing employee touchpoints, offering a vast array of amenities, such as coffee and snack bars, grocery shops, concierge services and commute facilities to the connecting points- will lead to creating a new office experience. 

Hybrid work models truly come across as the hour's need in the clamour of noise arising from choosing the best option. One where both work from home or instead work from anywhere is juxtaposed with the workplace atmosphere. Companies will have to rise to the occasion and provide employees with a safe workplace, one where seamless integration of human interaction and technology occurs, without any hindrances. 

It's a win-win situation for several reasons. 

Head hunters can gain significantly from new and cost-effective talent acquisition opportunities that arise with opening up geographically distributed workplaces. Organizations with foresight can flush back those real estate costs into people programmes, engagement, and experiences, thereby directly reducing attrition rates. 

As employers plan to bring back employees to offices, the focus will be upon safe and tech-enabled workspaces that provide a holistic experience. It is crucial to allow technology to be the backbone as the collaboration of tools is imperative to make remote working a hassle-free experience. One must not forget that a hybrid model can be successful only when backed by robust technology, seamless interface and security for team collaborations.

As economies across the world contemplate on the next best move to find their way out of Covid-19, office space providers are grappling with troubles of their own. The pandemic disrupted some of the best-laid plans of almost every industry vertical and one of the most severely affected was the commercial real estate sector.  As per a study by Deloitte, 50% of CXOs reported a 25% disruption in both business and work during the peak of Covid-19 last year. Manufacturing and retail operations saw the biggest of disruptions as 85% of these were impacted due to their heavy dependency on factories and unmovable machinery.  The hybrid model finds greater acceptance.
