Global Workplace Analytics (GWA), estimates that we will see 25-30% of the workforce working at home one or more days a week within the next two years. This points up the opportunities to better use of less space to reduce overhead costs. GWA suggested that a typical employer can save about $11,000US per year for every person who works remotely half of the time.

Physical Space Reconsidered
The COVID19 Pandemic has shaken our world. In particular, organizations have had to face the effect that this event has had on their business. We are forced to adjust how we interact, collaborate, communicate with our teams and these changes will remain for the foreseeable future. With the majority of organizations having had to switch to a remote workforce, the physical office space must be reconsidered.
With time, many organizations will have to return to their physical office but will have to be open to new ways of working. Over the last several years, our offices have seen a shift from traditional to a more modern workplace; developed for a more agile workforce, with collaboration as a top priority to foster relationships throughout organizations. The question now is not how to “fix” our modern workplace, but rather, how to incorporate a highly hygienic and sanitary space while preserving the cultures we have worked so hard to build and maintain in our organizations.
CONCEPTS OF POST-COVID OFFICE DESIGN
The spectrum of office design contains endless elements. To minimize the distance between staff, there are several solutions that can be easily achieved: reducing shared desking, re-orienting furniture, separating workstations, and adding barriers such as screen partitions, plants or storage elements.
