Workplace: More Than Just a Place to Work?
The fusion of the physical and digital workplace is our domain – we established our business prior to the monumental shift in ways of working. We have experienced it ourselves, living and growing through it. We are now equipped with the knowledge to help you navigate the reality of the two distinct environments where work gets done.
Though each unique, it is essential that ‘physical’ and ‘digital’ can seamlessly co-exist. The interdependence of the two experiences fuels their evolution.
Physical Workplaces: ‘Traditional’ Work Environments
Physical workplaces exist as the traditional, tangible locations where employees and stakeholders gather to perform their roles and responsibilities.
Their features include:
- Fixed locations that require employees’ physical presence
- Collaboration and communication occurs face to face, in real time
- Their physical infrastructure (office furniture, technology, workstations, meeting rooms) makes or breaks the experience
- On-site management means teams are present to oversee operations
Digital Workplaces: Remote Working
Digital workplaces empower teams to work remotely. This can be from home or other locations, leveraging technology to stay connected and perform their tasks. Their features include:
- A remote nature that allows work to be completed anywhere
- Digital communication (email, video conferencing, messaging) enables collaboration to occur through technology platforms
- Decentralised management entitles teams to rely on digital tools for progress tracking and productivity
Hybrid Workplaces: Seamlessly Blending the Best of Both Worlds
Hybrid workplaces unite elements of both physical and digital workplaces, offering flexibility whilst simultaneously adding value with physical interactions.
Understanding your business, teams and strategy is pivotal to understanding how you should design and deliver a hybrid strategy.
When done right, the result will be an environment that embraces diverse employee preferences and enables organisations to maximise their returns from people, space and technology.
