We are entering a period in which our most crucial productivity concern is becoming digital-social. We know that the proportion of people who are bored with being at home is very high. Some companies are hybrid in their working life, and some have already begun to return to the office entirely. By using this opportunity, some people have accustomed the teams to the “home office” life.  

With the research, it may be enough to look at human nature without annoyance. Humans have evolved outside the home, and it is a fact that we all agree, by nature, to be on the move and to have proper socialization. Even contemplating a forever working life in the house can give a feeling of sickness. People adopt flexible working models. He wants many options. 

For this reason, “home office” workers are planning to come together in a controlled manner with specific periods. It may be possible to meet this need most safely with correctly planned and designed workspaces. It may be wise to convert desk areas that are not already used one-to-one ratio into co-working spaces. 

In addition, we all know that companies started to adopt flexible workspaces (shared offices, etc.) before the pandemic and why they resisted this transformation. There is a fear of the consequences of the unknown and unmeasurable actions. Fortunately, we got rid of these fears with software solutions and video conferencing tools that put us at ease. 

Let’s simplify the need for confusion in the new era. We need comfortable workspaces that are free from epidemic risks, support flexible working, and increase synergy. What can be done in the new generation… 

1. Refreshing and re-evaluating office design from the beginning can be the permanent and fastest way. Demand is growing very fast. Furniture companies started to build software teams. Transformation is all around. Determining the design trends of the offices, Clive Wilkonson has already begun to produce designs according to this new situation and has already made its first launch. Now that office usage habits and needs have changed a lot; we have to change the old perspective quickly. I want to share the article (https://www.fastcompany.com/90626329/these-architects-popularized-the-open-office-now-they-say-the-open-office-is-dead) on this subject here. If this sounds too radical, at least transforming your meeting rooms can be a start. So much so that companies can turn idle desk areas into large meeting rooms. Or the opposite action may be the right decision. To make the right decision, usage data and some tools to make sense of this data will be needed. I’ll come back to that later. Let’s continue to evaluate the options. 
2. You can evaluate the hotels’ comfortable and spacious conference rooms with a great and relatively narrowing demand. Many valuable hotels with reasonable prices, comfort, and location can solve socialization in the city’s essential points hygienically and comfortably. It may be nice to present your employees or partners in a comfortable and prestigious environment and away from the home environment. Still, costs and organization can prevent the continuity you need most. 
3. Shared Offices were ready to serve even before the pandemic, and they are getting more and more popular. It is getting harder to find a room at any time you want. It may be necessary to calculate organizational difficulties and costs very well. Here, we expect companies such as Kollektif House, which exhibits new generation approaches, to increase. Still, although the capacity seems far from meeting wide-ranging needs, it can be considered an option. 
4. HUB offices, which will replace large vertical offices, and comfortable and intelligent spaces to be established in shared office properties close to the residential areas of the employees can make both employees and companies much happier and more productive. In summary, making the HUB Office investment without measuring and clearly understanding the general need can lead to unexpected results. Therefore, front analysis with workspace management software can be helpful. Measuring continuous use with these management tools is invaluable to understand habits and produce flexible solutions. 
5. Measuring accurate usage rates and habits with measurement tools that you will receive continuous feedback will be very useful in shaping design and service needs. Finding partners and quickly scheduling safe and customized services (cleaning, catering, meals, etc.) to make employees feel safe and create synergy can play a crucial role in synergy and cooperation in the new era.
