New MD Jon Dickman aims high at Needspace?

Trends in office rental are changing at pace, and at the forefront of the changes is growing demand for flexibility including short term office leases.

Jon Dickman, Commercial Director at Needspace?, sets out his prediction for the return to a trend last associated with the 1970s - cellular office design.

Workers have felt the benefit of not being faced with the tiring, and often stressful, travel time it takes to get from door to door on a daily basis. It’s no wonder so many don’t want to return to that way of working again.

The return to the office is a hot topic for employees and employers. Most of us are keen to maintain the convenience of working close to home but we’re also eager to once again interact with our colleagues in a safe and socially-distanced way. 

A shift to occupational diversification - with satellite offices playing a key role - offers a solution that combines the flexibility of local office space with the need for team interaction.

As lockdown measures ease and businesses begin tentatively returning to the workplace, employers are faced with an unprecedented task: how to handle a phased return to work which foregrounds the physical and mental wellbeing of all staff.
