A few years ago, finding new offices meant primarily choosing a space with enough desks for every worker.
However, the rise of hybrid working has changed this. Data from the Office for National Statistics has shown that 28% of adults in employment are working in a hybrid environment. Rather than focusing solely on property size, decisions about office space are more commonly based on flexibility, zones and a positive employee experience, especially for hybrid workers.
Employee preferences affect the location of the offices. In the Liverpool area, some employees prefer to be based in more pleasant and relaxing rural surroundings or by the sea in coastal areas like Southport, rather than in the hectic city centre, while the opposite may be true for employers.
Flexibility is another important factor that many organisations look for now. Scalable spaces on short-term leases allow office space to grow or contract according to how the business develops and how much time hybrid staff spend working there.
Many businesses now view an office relocation as a way to fully embrace hybrid working. A stylish-looking office space, with flexible areas and facilities such as cafes, lounge areas and gyms, attracts the best hybrid workers who love spending part of their working week in the office.
Organising a move from a conventional office to one for hybrid workers with flexible spaces and added amenities for staff is complex. Companies often need the help of a moving company experienced in commercial office relocations for this process.
