Is your office ready for the new way of working?

The technology was ready for it a long time ago, but the major switch to hybrid working only took place in 2020 due to the long-term working from home during Covid-19. The general idea that people work in offices as much as possible has suddenly become obsolete. Office presence is no longer the norm. The new way of working, also known as hybrid working, brings many benefits, both for the employer and for the employees.

The advantages of hybrid working

The employee has more flexibility in his or her working day. The employee determines where and, if the work permits, at what times they work. This gives a sense of freedom, more satisfaction and less stress. Employees thus have a better balance between work and free time. There is less travel time, no traffic jam stress and lower travel costs. Practical problems, such as a sick child, can also be taken care of more easily. Even when the employee is ill himself, he or she will in most cases get back to work faster.

What are the disadvantages of the new way of working?

Of course there are also disadvantages to the new way of working. For example, it can lead to less interaction with colleagues, which can lead to isolation and reduced involvement in the organization.
Work and private life can become completely intertwined, causing the employee to have planning problems, which in turn causes stress.
The employer also faces challenges due to the new way of working. Due to hybrid working, the employer has less control over the employees and the organization will have to adjust the way of management.

The new office

Adjustments will have to be made at the office.
Because if everyone has the freedom to work anywhere, how do you unite and bind people as an organization?
A new concept is needed, a truly magnetic place, a working environment where your employees feel inspired and at home.

The function of the office changes into a meeting point

Boring and uninspiring offices are being transformed into innovative offices that meet the demands of employees. Daylight, bright colours, flexible workplaces and plants should not be missing in today's office.
Sitting all day, that's not what we were made for, height-adjustable desks so that people can do their work standing up are a good solution, but you can achieve more with a game room!

A game room is a must!

Fun on the work floor is stimulating and motivating. Letting off steam or de-stressing can for example be done with a game of table tennis, table football or pool and it also benefits creativity.
In a game room you not only move, you immediately work on better mutual contact, so team building on the work floor!
Our tips for your game room are a table tennis table, soccer table, pool table, air hockey, shuffleboard, American shuffleboard, darts and games.

No room for a game room?

A game at the office does not require much space, place a dartboard in the hallway and a chess game or shuffleboard in the canteen. There are also great solutions with multifunctional tables. Like the Lifestyle collection with table tennis table / dining or work table functions and table / pool table combinations from the brands Buffalo, Aramith and Cornilleau. Use such a multifunctional gaming table for example in the meeting room, there are many possibilities!
