The office work environment has faced a range of challenges in recent years. Regaining momentum after the prolonged and enforced work-from-home experience of the COVID-19 years has proven to be difficult for many organisations.
With the new wave of technology available, online meetings and remote working have become part of everyday life. A new generation of employees has joined the workforce who are as used to seeing their colleague on-screen as they are in-person.
However, irrespective of how much commute time is saved by these tools and despite the preferences of some employees, there is compelling evidence that working from the office can boost productivity. A recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) found that workers who were randomly assigned to work from home on a full-time basis were 18% less productive than their in-office counterparts, either taking longer to complete tasks or getting less done. Human beings, after all, are innately social creatures who thrive best in social settings.
