How to Plan a Hybrid Workplace

For over a year, most companies have survived with limited or no use of their office space. Now that the pandemic is beginning to subside in the US, office occupiers are planning a return to office. Many are planning to modify elements of their space usage to meet the changing demands of their employees. The most common approach is the hybrid office where in employees have the flexibility to use the office on a periodic basis to fulfill specific work-related needs. In the hybrid office, employees can choose to gather for team collaboration, for culture building or client facing events/meetings and to secure quiet "head down" space for work they may not be able to accomplish at home. On the other hand, employees have the flexibility to choose to work from home or remotely at least some of the time.
