Although hybrid working has almost tripled since the pandemic, new research shows that the office still has a valuable role to play.

This is according to a report from Unispace, which also revealed that flexibility around hours is crucial in the modern world of work.

The Future of Flexible Working report surveyed 3,000 office workers and revealed that as many as 77% said that flexible start times would encourage them back to the workplace, indicating that employees seek not only flexibility in where they work, but also when they work.

Regan Donoghue, Senior Principal, Workplace Strategy at Unispace, said, “Optimising flexibility is a key challenge organizations are facing, not only when it comes to scheduling, but also ensuring how spaces support the work that is taking place.”

Regan added, “The days when the majority of staff were happy to work in an office environment Monday to Friday, nine to five, are now over.

“There is no doubt that hybrid working is the way forward, however, there are clearly variations in demand between the many different groups of individuals that make up the workforce.

“This is why, in my opinion, it is critical for businesses to speak directly to their staff and get to the bottom of their desired set up, rather than just assuming that one size will fit all.”
