CONCEPTS FOR HYBRID WORK

CONCEPTS FOR HYBRID WORK

Four different concepts are the foundation of hybrid work: in-office, working from home, remote, and distributed.

  1. In-Office: Working primarily from the company’s office
  2. Working From Home: Employees can switch between their company’s office and their home office
  3. Remote: Working primarily from a home office
  4. Distributed: Employees only work from their home office because their company doesn’t have a physical office location

The goal of hybrid work is to make all professionals feel like equals – regardless of whether or not they are in-office or remote. Developing workplace transformation and remote work tools begins with creating spaces to keep people feeling comfortable and productive. How we shop, entertain, travel, and learn are different, and the same is true for the way people work.

Enhance Collaboration to Improve the Employee Experience

Enhance Collaboration to Improve the Employee Experience

Today’s smart and connected workplace is more about experiences and less about devices. Technology acts as our digital concierge, or a helpful assistant, providing information to us when we need it. With the devices people have access to, people can change the way work happens, how they feel at the end of the day, and how they collaborate. Technology and data can help them find their way to spaces, create better startup experiences for collaboration, and give them prompt to move throughout the day – that has great potential to make a positive impact on their day-to-day experiences.

Concepts That Support a Flexible Workspace

Concepts That Support a Flexible Workspace

Some of us will stay at home while others work in-office full time. To meet the needs of all team members, three concepts need to be implemented.

  1. Equity: Strive for equity and inclusion despite location.
  2. Engagement: Design experiences across a range of settings that are human and engaging.
  3. Ease: Design a variety of intuitive virtual and physical experiences that are easy to navigate.

bkm OfficeWorks supports these three concepts with flexible, mobile office furniture, and accessories. Learn more about flexible space solutions here.
