Remote workers enjoy a major boost to their productivity, and today’s offices are evolving to meet the needs of an increasingly scattered workforce.
More people are working remotely, which gives companies the opportunity to increase the size of their teams while simultaneously shrinking their office space.
From soundproofing walls to collaboration apps, here are 8 ways the modern workplace is adapting to the needs of remote workers.
In a competitive marketplace, businesses also need to learn how to attract workers to their team even if they don’t offer remote work opportunities.
Companies are investing in conferencing software that allows team members to meet anywhere, while apps such as Slack allow staff members to collaborate even when they’re working in different time zones.
Remote workers who spend time in a physical location look for community space that offers the kind of low-key working environment they’re used to at home.
With at-home working arrangements becoming more popular, an office that prioritizes high-tech tools and a comfortable environment is better equipped to compete for top talent.
