Companies are increasingly realising the benefits of workers being engaged and collaborative with each other. Open plan offices, plenty of communal areas and hot desking are all key trends for this year as they help to break down hierarchies and keep employees more connected.
Staff wellbeing is key. Understanding and awareness of mental health issues are improving all the time and employers realise that happy, well-adjusted workers are more productive and responsive. Offices that promote good mental balance with plenty of natural light, bulbs that produce artificial sunlight to combat seasonal affective disorder, plants and good staff benefits are on trend for 2018.
An office that can adapt to changing needs – including daily ones – will have a head start in 2018. Remote and flexible working mean that a different number of employees can be in the office day to day, and the type of work to be done changes too. Easily movable furniture, folding walls and roll-up overhead projector screens make for transformable and on-trend workplaces.
Whilst we aren’t usually encouraged to take work home taking home to work is a definite trend for the new year. Many offices are looking to become more ‘homely’ – perhaps with improved facilities such as kitchens or showers, or places to read and relax in downtime – for a more welcoming environment.
Here at Ransom Wood we offer flexible office space that can be configured to your bespoke requirements.
We have 70 acres of woodland which envelops our office buildings and a stroll around the park helps to clear your mind ready for the next big challenge. Our on park restaurant Forever Green is also the ideal place to take a break from your desk or also to meet clients over a coffee or lunch.
Give our friendly team a call to see how we can help with your business relocation to our unique woodland setting.
