Time to get smart in the office: New approaches to building design and innovative technology will make the post-pandemic office look very different

Abstract

WHILE EMPLOYEES will continue to spend more time working from home once the coronavirus pandemic has subsided, the need to visit an office at least occasionally won't go away completely The office of the future is likely to look considerably different from those we are used to, however. Organisations will rearrange their working spaces to meet stricter regulation around biosecurity to protect against future outbreaks while accommodating smaller numbers of employees at any one time.
