Two in five (59%) of UK businesses’ senior decision-makers want to increase the number of times employees must attend their workspace, research from NCG has revealed.
The pandemic has acted as something of a catalyst for companies to make remote working more common, but not everyone is a fan of this new trend.
Thomas Proctor, chief executive of NCG, said: “After years of remote working following the pandemic, many businesses are now insisting that their employees return to the office at least some of the time. What’s clear is that business leaders believe in-person interactions and collaboration are vital to their growth.”
When selecting a workplace two thirds (65%) prioritised the technology available, while a third (31%) said networking and event opportunities are a priority.
Proctor added: “The technology on offer in workspaces must, therefore, be of the highest standard, allowing businesses the freedom to connect without limitations. The fact that our research highlights that the technology laid out across an office building is of the highest importance to senior decision-makers shows investing in industry-leading solutions that are efficient and easy to use is essential.
“Landlords and operators must make installing the best technology a non-negotiable if they are to meet the demands businesses now have for their office space. By using the best in class technology solutions, they can help landlords and operators set themselves apart in an already saturated market.”
