Changes in eras lead to the emergence of new professions and to the fact that the very format of work is adapted to the surrounding world and the needs of its inhabitants. If you want your career peaks to be reached in comfortable conditions, and your colleagues to enjoy their work and be inspired to make the company better, you should start by choosing the right office. The result depends on the conditions. This year's trends will tell you which space is worth renting in order to confidently step up the steps of the career ladder.
Environmental friendliness and responsibility
Caring for the environment has become a global trend of our century, therefore it affects not only the personal and public spheres, but also affects the choice office premises. The desire for unreasonable pomp gives way to modesty and to reducing the harmful impact on nature. In order to keep up with the times, employers prefer to rent the following premises for their team, which will meet the global trend:
- offices should be energy efficient as much as possible. The choice is made towards spaces that have high-quality air conditioning and ventilation systems, as well as individual or autonomous heating. The formation of an optimal microclimate is important both for the conscious consumption of resources and its savings, but it also has a positive effect on the work of employees. The same applies to energy-efficient lighting
- air quality depends on ventilation, which we have already mentioned. Careful tenants pay attention not only to the presence of air conditioners. They try to find offices with a climate control system so that both temperature and humidity can be controlled
- waste sorting is possible in those housing estates and business centers, in which this happens not only at the level of individual apartments, but also at the level of the entire complex. Tenants can easily find what they are looking for in many modern housing complexes and commercial centers
- they look not only at the surface, but also dig deep - environmentally friendly technologies and materials cannot always be seen with the naked eye, but a responsible manager does not try to do so, he studies all the details before making a decision to sign a contract
- public transport and bicycles are considered excellent alternatives to cars. They try to reduce the amount of exhaust gases and not participate in air pollution by choosing office premises located near key transport hubs - public transport stops and metro stations. A convenient way to work will inspire employees to change the usual traffic jams to a more reliable way of moving
Environmentally responsible approach to rent of office premises allows us to protect the world we live in and raise our reputation as a responsible brand. Taking care of nature, the company also takes care of its attractiveness in the eyes of customers.
Flexibility and functionality
The so-called "flexible office" allows you to manage the space wisely and adapt it to your needs, rather than restricting people to fit them into a strict framework. The essence of this trend is that the tenant chooses for himself and his team:
- open layouts. The absence of division into dozens of small spaces allows for a more convenient arrangement and has a positive effect on the work process, giving colleagues greater freedom in communications and making important decisions regarding joint projects
- freedom of movement. Sitting in one place from 9:00 to 18:00 is not easy not only for the body, but also for the mind. The ability to change the environment, move from one work area to another, arrange a brainstorming session and simply stretch will give lightness to the body and freshness of the mind. New creative ideas will not be delayed
- zoning of space. "Flexibility" of the office and openness of planning does not mean their absence. For comfortable work, you can allocate separate offices for holding conferences, Skype rooms for solving issues remotely, lounge areas, etc.
- opportunity to take a break. When choosing an office, global corporations and many Ukrainian companies emphasize areas for rest, collective and separate. It is not only about well-equipped kitchens with coffee machines, but also about terraces, open spaces with sofas and poufs. It is not uncommon to have special equipment to turn an ordinary lunch break into mini-team building - a table tennis table or a console will be great for bringing the team together
A smart boss knows that the productivity, creativity and responsibility of his employees directly depends on the conditions in which they are forced to cope with their duties.
Forced activities that have turned into favorite trends of 2023
In the beginning, co-working was a lifesaver for remote employees who, thanks to the horrors of blackouts, could not carry out work processes not because of a lack of desire, but because of a lack of opportunity. Now it has turned into a great way to temporarily diversify working days or even transfer them to a new format. Coworking has become a popular choice among individual specialists and among entire companies. Friendly atmosphere, plenty of space and air - a great choice for a small team.
Perhaps those companies that were unprepared for the blackout were the first to understand the benefits and convenience of a hybrid work schedule. Just a few days of live communication with the team is enough to cope with organizational issues and start implementing the planned plans. Not all employees need permanent office facilities. The beauty of many professions lies precisely in the fact that a person can perform his duties at any time and in any place. Even the writing of this proposal could take place in one of the offices T.H.E. Capital, as well as over a cup of coffee at home in the kitchen - only the author himself knows the truth;)
