By now, you've heard a lot about the future of work, and you're probably thinking about making some changes to your space. Your teams might not be in the office all the time, and you need a space that's more flexible - that can change more easily and adapt over time - and you may need more areas for collaborative group work, not just isolated desks.

So... what do you do? Where do you start? How do you know the changes you're making are actually best for your team?

Over the last year, we've all certainly learned a lot about the ways we can work, and we've seen a number of changes already start to take hold and rise in popularity as we collectively plan our future work models.

Technology – it’s always getting bigger and better, more powerful, and more impactful on how we live and work. With whole-room video conference capabilities, increased WiFi usage and more powerful internet needs, and so many integrated tech tools at our disposal, we’re making work areas and meeting spaces more connected than ever! However, these advancements often come at a price.

The workplace as we know has been changing even prior to the pandemic. Over the last decade, we’ve seen changes in style, design, form, and even type of space to meet the ever-changing needs of today’s workers. Flexible workplaces have grown in popularity, and flexible desk options have enabled the integration and collaboration of departments like never before. What, then, will tomorrow bring?
