Post-Pandemic evolution of workplaces

Covid-19 has taught all of us that work can be managed from anywhere. Business continuity at the time of the first lockdown was of prime importance. Today, we have a more distributed and location-agnostic workforce. We have witnessed that this modern and geographically dispersed workforce desires flexibility and tools to work from wherever they want

The Covid-19 pandemic has upended the world in a multitude of ways and changed the way we work. As the virus is influencing the economy, the question arises what would be its impact on commercial leasing and co-working spaces? Anticipating businesses being resilient, co-working spaces are expected to emerge stronger in the post-Covid world. The flexibility and well-crafted strategies to promote a preventive and safe and healthy co-working environment are attracting many businesses.

While work from home may coexist, office space will not lose its importance as the benefits of working in a physical office space, both in terms of cohesion as well as productivity, is long-lasting. Given that corporate occupiers want to reduce costs, even the most conventional occupiers are now seeing merit in coworking. These spaces, with their natural flexibility and inherent readiness to add value, are best positioned to adapt and redefine the future of the workspace.
