How to Support Your Untethered Employees



Organizations are looking for ways to become more flexible in terms of where and how their employees work. From more creative and dynamic office designs to work-from-home policies, they’re adding variety and agility to achieve meaningful gains. One challenge, however, is how to properly support flexible employees – here’s what our contemporary office design team has to say.

·         Invest in good communication tools and policies: Working remotely doesn’t mean that communication should suffer – but it does mean that organizations need to invest in robust communication tools and policies. This allows face-to-face meetings to happen in real time, fostering collaboration and clear communication between team members.

·         Secure your tech: It’s essential to develop policies and data security strategies for devices that remote workers will utilize, whether the devices are supplied by your organization or via a Bring Your Own Device policy. This ensures that employees have access to the correct software, apps and tech they need to do their job properly, without sacrificing data security.

·         Establish remote working protocols: Organizations with untethered employees need to have clear protocols for remote work as well as their office environment. This means clear communication for use of hot desks and meeting/collaborative spaces, policies for reporting in to work or monitoring hours of work, and availability. All of these have to be clearly communicated and adhered to in order to prevent frustration, uncertainty or confusion.

·         Create flexible workspaces: Workplace design is becoming more flexible and agile in order to accommodate flexible work hours, collaboration and team agility. While traditional approaches have employees working in an assigned desk in an assigned cubicle, your untethered employees need to be able to work anywhere according to the exact needs of the job at that moment. For example, they may work at home when they’re doing focused tasks, at a hot desk while they are waiting on a meeting, in a collaborative space for team meetings, or in a private communal space for informal meetings.

The productivity of employees feeds directly into big-picture business goals, creating a cycle that drives businesses to achieve more. Unfortunately, only 13% of the global workforce is actively engaged and satisfied with their workplace arrangement. Taking the time to invest in a workplace arrangement that supports this cycle is essential, improving job satisfaction, reducing turnover and burnout, boosting productivity, and most importantly, encouraging a  safe return to work during COVID-19 . Of course, developing your workplace environment is not a quick or inexpensive solution – but it is a critical one if you want to achieve these goals.

In Every Pandemic, There’s an Opportunity

Image
  If you were considering an office-buildout before the pandemic hit, having lived through it can only be considered a blessing. At BE Builds, we’ve seen our clients designing workspaces that are dramatically different than the ones they would’ve designed just 12 months ago. Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace. And these enhancements are not just a temporary investment due to the pandemic –...

The Benefits Of Using Collaborative Office Furniture To Design Your Creative Space

A collaborative office space has been shown to improve colleague relationships, work-flow and overall productivity. When it comes to transforming an office space into a new-age collaborative set-up, the heart of it all will be the collaborative furniture that you choose.  Collaborative office furniture  needs to complement the design of the space and, most importantly, promote efficiency within the workplace. Using Collaborative Furniture to Build the Space Most will agree that the main consideration to keep in mind when creating a well-functioning office space lies in finding a steady balance between work areas and storage areas. While most traditional offices keep these two aspects of the business separate, most collaborative furniture will offer built in storage options in order to accommodate both. Another consideration to keep in mind is investing in the right sizes when it comes to collaborative workspace furniture. The sizes which you select should depend on the...
