Across the UK businesses are beginning to open back up and returning to relative normality after a turbulent year of uncertainty, meaning offices can finally reopen to staff. However, there is one big question; what will the office look like and what has changed over the last 12 months?

There are a number of different factors to consider when preparing for the return of your workforce including the overall layout and flow of your office, whether you have the necessary furniture available and the measures you can put in place to keep staff safe. Here at Foursquare Workspace we understand that this may seem like a slightly daunting and difficult task but we are ready to help with every step of the way.

Please see below for just a few of the services we can provide specifically designed to aid the reopening of offices. If you’d like to discuss your requirements with us please feel free to call us on 0800 6347 415 or drop us an email on sales@4sws.co.uk. We’re here to help.

Hybrid Office Spaces

Hybrid office spaces are simply workplaces that provide staff with increased flexibility and allow choice in how they carry out their duties. This could manifest itself in unassigned desking so people can work together more easily or the ability to take their work on the move with them, including their own homes. As remote working became almost a necessity for the majority of 2020 hybrid office spaces are seen by many as the future of office design.

We can assist in the design and creation of hybrid offices including complete space planning, supply of necessary furniture and the installation of technological features that will aid communication with staff and clients including Zoom Room Systems.

Equipment & Safety Features

The wellbeing of staff should be at the forefront when planning for the reopening of your workspace and protection against viruses and illnesses has become imperative. Whether it’s adding shielding and guards to workstations or having sanitising stations available throughout your office everything must be considered in order to create a safe and welcoming environment for staff.

We will work with you to provide all of the items your requirements demand including the following:

• Workplace Shields

• Sneeze Guards

• Hand Sanitiser

• Sanitising Wipes

• PPE - Face Masks

• PPE - Disposable Gloves

Workplace Reconfiguration

Office design is always evolving and is constantly influenced by modern trends and culture. The last 12 months has ushered in a completely new area for office design and this means it may be necessary to alter your workplace to be inline with current practices. Repositioning desks to allow for more space between members of staff, mandatory one way systems for more organised movement and larger, more spaced-out breakout areas are just a few key changes that can be made.

Everyone’s requirements and needs can differ so we are more than happy to help organise furniture in small offices to completely reconfiguring layouts of large communal workplaces. No job is too big!
