Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity” These words by Steve Jobs continue to inspire designers across the globe in the journey of exploration. While health and wealth experts are still trying to comprehend a definitive timeline for situation arising due to Covid-19, one thing which is affirmative is that a proactive approach is going to help in coming out of the crises. The imbalance or demand vacuum as economists call it, may lead to bigger challenges in near future. The immediate priority for businesses is to bring back people to work in a staggered, safe and secure environment. This is where the innovation makes all the difference. Design thinking for new age workspaces is witnessing a paradigm shift where wellness, safety and collaboration take the highest order of priority.
World’s first response to curb the spread of pandemic was to stay at home. This manifested into the idea of Work from home (WFH) as a very natural transition. The arrangement gained popularity initially since it minimized the disruptions caused by pandemic. After six months, what we are beginning to experience is the flipside of Work from Home. Most surveys indicate that employees want to go back to workplaces at least 2-3 days a week post-pandemic. Primary reasons are lack of employee connect and collaboration while working from home. It also blurs the boundary between personal space & workspace, leading to reduced levels of productivity and increased stress levels & fatigues. It’s a matter of time when organizations would start retrofitting their workplaces with innovative ideas integrating the health guidelines to fill at least 50% of seats available.
