The traditional office scheme, in which hundreds of workers left and entered the same time, has been left behind.The new normality imposed by Pandemia by COVID-19 determined changes in the way in which companies work and also the concept of work space.Regional survey data 2020 How did the work and family field transform?, Headed by IAE Business School, offers some revealing data.

Before only 34% of the collaborators worked at Home Office all week, while 10% were just a few days.With the arrival of the COVID-19, the employees in Home Office increased to 68%, and to 11% those who do it only.On the other hand, the skills have developed better, since 81% said, this situation allowed them to have self -discipline, another 81% won in resilience and 80% labor flexibility.

Given this context, Herman Miller, a leading company in innovation and furniture design trends, brought together 80 designers from the United States and Canada in a series of workshops called Future State.The guests distilled six predictions on the future of office work, which were shared with the Notipress team.

The first of these predictions is, the office design on demand will increase, especially through a new type of technology known as sensify.It is an application that transforms the white walls optimized with visualization technology with several purposes, from projecting landscapes that inspire, to visualize operational analysis.

A second prediction anticipates that the office will become a space for personal ties, beyond mere work.While working from the house brings benefits in terms of flexibility and productivity, workers will eventually eager to return to the living space.A survey of the Indeed Job Platform revealed that 43% of American employees felt like new friends in the work space.

Due to the growing need for speed and growth in the number of independent workers, companies are also expected to acquire new ways to obtain staff for projects.Organizations will be created and recreated according to each project, making specific selections of a large portfolio of consultants.This model will take advantage of the best talent in the industry to accelerate processes, reach more speed to the market, design better and more quickly and innovate with productivity.

There is also a tendency towards technological optimism, regarding advances in automated furniture modeling and manufacturing software implemented by Herman Miller.While the growing use of technology generates some anxiety in the designers, the group was excited about the perspective of integrating artificial intelligence, macrodatos and robotics in the design process.

Future State participants predict that, in the coming years, the people and organizations for whom they work will develop better balance between work and personal life.This implies learning to disconnect from technology, and put an end to the multiplicity of tasks.As well as using analytics to understand when we are in the best state to work.

Finally, experts agreed on the importance of considering the needs of an increasingly distributed and decentralized workforce.Being able to work from anywhere is a great advantage, but this can lead to technological deficiencies in terms of connectivity, as in the Wi-Fi connection.While the decrease in global central offices is possible, work units can be expected around the world where you can enter and remain as long as you want.The Future State program concluded, the changes occur more speed than ever in the new normality and we must know how to adapt to the needs of the future of work.Companies capable of achieving this will be able to attract and retain talent, and will discover with the new generations other ways to develop their professions.
