The future of work is full of new prospects and jobs that we’ve only begun to start finding our feet with.
When we think of the speed at which technology is developing, it’s no wonder that automation plays a big role in the future of work. The first thing we tend to think of when it comes to automation is jobs. Will our jobs still be there, or will they be replaced by robots?
But what about the space in which we work? What will the office of the future look like? Given that the future of work has already sort of arrived, it’s safe to say that several elements of our future office are already here, too.
The physical workspace
This is one of the most rigid and stable parts of the physical office building as we currently know it. Sure, the interiors might have been updated over the decades, more colour added, more things to encourage positive employee wellbeing, but the space has largely remained the same.
In more recent years, though, there’s been a gradual shift towards open-plan offices and more breakout areas to encourage better collaboration and a chance to unwind.
