Flexibility, it’s more than a buzzword

29/08/2023

When hybrid is the reality, flexibility is essential. The work environment must be able to quickly evolve along with the wants and needs of your employees, the culture of your organisation and changes over time.  

 

At Pami, we design hybrid working environments using a human-centred approach. Your teams and individual employees are the focal point of this process. It begins with a corporate culture where your employees have the space to communicate their expectations and needs to their managers. But having a clear vision is equally important. This enables your employees to work (together) optimally, both in the office and at home. 

 

Depending on their tasks and the time of day or week, your teams and employees will have different preferences. What works for one person does not necessarily work for another. By offering a variety of workstations, you give them the freedom and flexibility to choose a workstation depending on their needs. Consider quiet workstations for concentrated work and call booths or collaborative spaces for meetings and brainstorming sessions.  

 

By furnishing these spaces with modular and multifunctional furniture, you can respond quickly to new situations without making large investments. Workstations are adapted and reconfigured to support individual work, collaboration or meetings. This creates a dynamic environment. And what's more, it’s a sustainable solution!  

 

Space flexibility also plays a role. For example, turning your cafeteria into a meeting room, training room or social lounge, depending on the day. And on the needs of the day, of course. This maximises the use of the available space, and your office facilities are utilised more efficiently. 

 

Flexibility within a hybrid working environment, however, goes beyond simply moving around some furniture or adjusting layouts. It includes creating an environment that takes into account the needs of your individual employees, your teams and the organisation as a whole. Use modular, multifunctional and human-centred design elements combined with advanced technological solutions. This allows your hybrid working environment to adapt to the changing circumstances and to contribute optimally to the productivity, collaboration and well-being of all involved.
