We live in an era where remote work<\/a> has become the norm. We know that it\u2026 works.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet having a physical office<\/a> space has undeniable benefits. It\u2019s the cornerstone of company culture. Shared workspaces signal a collaborative environment<\/a>. Distraction-free spaces within them can serve as the location for either deep focus<\/a> or team brainstorming<\/a>. And an office that is an aesthetically welcoming environment is more pleasant and can foster more creativity<\/a> than this decade\u2019s equivalent of rows of grey cubicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having a physical office space<\/a> can boost employees\u2019 morale and productivity in the same way that starting a work-from-home working day in real clothes and with brushed teeth feels different from working all day on one\u2019s sofa wearing day-old tracksuit bottoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
