The office isn’t dead. But it is evolving. It’s been nearly a year since offices around the globe closed due to COVID-19 and, although it’s uncertain exactly when a return will happen, two things are clear.

• Firstly, while there is likely to be lower overall utilisation on a regular basis, the physical office will still very much be a requirement for most businesses to continue operating.
• Secondly, for the physical office to remain a competitive advantage, companies have a lot of rethinking to do. They must reimagine how their working environments continue to serve both remote and in-office working, and the changing expectations of their workforce. They need to do this while remaining efficient, collaborative and innovative.
