Abstract

Before the Global Pandemic, the UK office sector was already changing as businesses required flexible and agile workspace due to the changing nature of work. Compulsory lockdowns during 2020-2022 quickly accelerated these changes in the way of working - employees were able to work from home, if feasible to do so and for a time ordered to do so. Reflecting this trend, there is now an emerging emphasis on creating spaces that support value-added activities that require people to once again meet and work together. There is a considerable amount of research being published on how the office building can cater for hybrid working. However, using a case study of leading real estate employers, this research project follows the employees as they work in new work formats. The initial findings reported in this paper help to understand how people are acting and responding to this situation. The intention is that in time this will allow a framework to be created for businesses planning their workspace, organisational change, and wider academic debate.
