Just as we change, the circumstances and nature of our work change too. For an office to remain an effective space, not just an impressive one, it must keep up with the current needs and expectations of employees and organizations. After the COVID-19 pandemic, which gave rise to our Safety Solutions offering (a hygienic workplace that increases social distance but also improves safety) and hybrid office offering – theWorkspace of Tomorrow (which ensures efficiency, regardless of whether work is carried out from the office or from home), the time has come to understand the new needs of employees. That is why we conducted a study entitled What do I expect of my office? in 2022. We asked our respondents what the office of the future should look like, what key functions of the office are, and what biggest advantages and disadvantages working in and outside the office space has. We investigated how to comfortably locate areas intended for a specific type of work, taking into account the nature of specific work duties. Having analysed the research results, our team took up the challenge of creating a space that would respond to employees’ new needs and expectations, but would also be ready for rapid transformations. Based on our extensive experience in working with clients, supported by literature in the field of office space planning, we have Space planning come up with an original office of the future arrangement concept: a Reunion Office , which works as the heart of the organisation and a place for interaction - joint work that builds positive relations and the sense of being part of a larger whole, while providing concentration and focus. An office to which employees will gladly return in the new post-pandemic reality to rebuild damaged team ties. To achieve that, we have provided for an incentive in the form of a selection of comfortable furniture solutions tailored to various needs. Awareness of and respect for neurodiversity and the variability of the nervous system is an increasingly growing trend, which is taken into account when designing offices. In order to meet the individual needs of employees, we want to have an increasingly positive impact on the efficiency of their work by minimizing stress factors and increasing the level of comfort, which is why we are currently working on a report called Office and Its Micro- Zones , in which we would like to showcase the smallest functional office spaces along with the furniture sets we propose that provide the right parameters for a given zone. Our goal is to create an individualized, inclusive space in which everyone can find their place. That is why we have conducted hundreds of interviews, collected thousands of surveys, and taken part in a number of training courses and workshops. Nowy Styl’s team of experts can boast a signifi- cant contribution to spreading knowledge in the field of workplace, both among the employees (including onboarding training) and outside our organisation: > many articles and publications on the Nowy Styl website and as part of Focus on Business, ICAN Insti- tute; > webinar on trends and new requirements for office spaces, and the employee experience perspective; > workshops for students of architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts; > starting work on the thematic tabs project; > work on the reports: the previously mentioned Office and Its Micro-Zones , emphasizing the importance of micro-zones in increasing work comfort and efficiency, and Make your Space , which is a compendium of knowledge in the field of office space design.endium wiedzy z zakresu projektowania przestrzeni biurowej.
