Work From Anywhere
Office + Home + Third Space
It’s not Home OR Office, Its Work from Anywhere
When given the choice, people are drawn to places that make them feel comfortable and productive. What we previously knew as the office was already evolving into a place of social context—more collaborative than ever.
After all, interaction with colleagues makes us happier and more engaged at work. These activities are just as critical to the creative process as high-focus work—and significant for innovation to occur. The pandemic has fueled much uncertainty about the future. What is certain? That humans are adaptable and have adjusted to new work paradigms. But, there’s no single answer.
The New Ecosystem
Each space in the ecosystem has its advantages, individuals and teams will choose the right space based on the task required and where they feel most productive. Spaces designed before the pandemic might not be the right fit for the future.
As we transition into this new ecosystem, we take with us a better understanding of what worked and what did not. Applying this new perspective will allow us to rethink the design of the office, home, and third places to maximize their potential for the future of work.
Starting with the office, we’ll explore with you the right balance for your ecosystem. We can provide solutions that will accommodate a continuous flow of work in multiple environments, allowing people to be effective and real estate to be efficient.
Contact your BOS & Haworth representative for a more in-depth discussion tailored to your organization’s culture and needs.
Advantages of each space in the ecosystem:
Office
Team brainstorming, social interactions, impromptu connections, creativity, access to materials, face-to-face meetings, commute
Home
Focus work, reading, virtual meetings, scheduled calls,
no commute
Third Place
Meetings over coffee, socializing, focus work, touchdown when traveling, work hub locations
