Working from home may be the new “BETTER Business Normal.”
We keep hearing comments like, “When life gets back to normal” and “When we get back to work as usual.” Well, life and work will probably never be quite the same – but that might not be all bad. Going forward we may have a “Better Business Normal!”
In the weeks that have passed since the “Shelter in Place Orders,” many have figured out how to work from home. While there were a great number of remote workers already, for many it was the first time to work from home – EVERY DAY!
That required some major adjustments! Where would you set up your laptop to work on projects and not have to clean them up before dinner could be served? Where would it be quiet enough to conduct zoom meetings with your colleagues? How to overcome the distractions of the refrigerator nearby and the washer and dryer calling you when their cycles were complete? Building a life/work routine at home can be a challenge.
Well, for the most part, people have done it! In the past there has been a lot of skepticism about working from home and how productive folks would be. Large corporations have reported that while they were skeptical, they have seen how well it can work.
Many believe that it will change the way large corporations consider their work force and their real estate needs. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/4/14/21211789/coronavirus-office-space-work-from-home-design-architecture-real-estate. Large corporations have been increasingly taking advantage of the flexible terms that co-working business centers provide. And that trend will probably continue in the months ahead.
Employees are also increasingly searching for a better work/life balance, and the opportunity to work at home, at least part time, may be the answer. Executive Support Center is positioned to support remote workers. Working at home may be beneficial most of the time, but sometimes you may need to just get out of the house. If you’re working on a project that you need undivided attention over several hours, a day office at Executive Support Center can provide that quiet space in a private office. Offices can be rented by the day or week.
