Employees now expect more than a desk and a cubicle , or even a flexible work-at-home policy . The hybrid work revolution has sparked a change in the way organizations plan , design , and equip their spaces , giving employees the tools they need to achieve their best work . And it ’ s not just about comfort and flexibility . Tomorrow ’ s office layouts will encourage both group and individual creativity , enabled by hardware and technology .
More people are accepting hybrid work arrangements , where they split their time between the office and home , but they still yearn for a sense of connection , belonging , and meaning in their careers . 1 Creating office neighborhoods and improving video conferencing are just two examples of emerging ways to improve the quality of both digital and physical interactions , making workers feel more creative , comfortable , and collaborative .

And when global teams do gather , offices of the future provide a platform to make real-life meetings rewarding for everyone involved .
