Working in the countryside – by a North London Lad!
The great "where to work" discussion will continue to evolve: home, office, city, countryside? Needless to say, we will be writing lots more about it in this blog.In the meantime a multitude of different experiences and experiments undertaken over the last 18 months will help inform workers and employers what works best for them. Although I usually comment generally on the London office market, here are a few personal observations borne from the pandemic, lockdown and its aftermath.
Hybrid Working: the advantages of working from home
In my last post, I talked about why I'm looking forward to getting back to the office. At then end, I said I’d mention some positive aspects about working from home. Well here you go...
Top 5 positives about getting back to the office
Many Londoners will return to the office soon (hurrah!) I have worked in the West End "From 9 to 5" (like Dolly Parton) 5 days of week for 30 years and I am excited! Not to go back to the office (silly), but my new flexible home/office hybrid working lifestyle.
Zoom fatigue is real. Time to zoom back to the office?
Even Zoom's inventer finds endless video meetings exhausting, whilst Stanford Uni has identified Zoom fatigue as a clinical condition.
Hybrid working: Sofa so good?
As lockdown restrictions continue to lift, many companies are currently adjusting their future patterns of work for the long term. In short, that future is hybrid working.
Find office space in cities across the UK
Last month we launched Find a City Office. You can now search for available office space in 16 cities across the UK! More cities will be added soon. And ultimately you’ll be able to search for offices anywhere in the UK - in and out of town.
Decision time: keep the office or ditch the long-term commitment?
If you're a business owner, it's quite likely you have some important decisions to make about your office space, as lockdown lifts.
Working from home? Has the novelty worn off for the young?
Normality is beckoning. Has the novelty of working from home worn off, for both office workers - particularly the young - and their employers?
