If you work for an organization with a physical office, chances are you’ve gotten to take a break from commuting over the last few years.
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a revolution in company culture and office habits as billions of people around the world were forced to quarantine themselves at home and avoid gathering in public spaces. The rise of the WFH workforce brought a lot of positives for sure: no need to commute, getting to wear pajamas all day, and getting to spend more time with family to name a few. But it also brought some less positive qualities: getting cabin fever, forgetting how to wear real clothes, and having to spend more time with family.
Luckily, with vaccinations on the rise and safety precautions in place, there has been a return to the office happening slowly but surely. Many companies are adopting a hybrid office model, where employees have flexibility to work in the office some days and at home other days. Some companies are beginning to offer incentives to entice their employees back to the office, including redesigning their spaces to be more inviting.
Whether or not you feel you are suited to WFH, you have to admit that there’s something great about being in a space that was designed to help people work at their best! A well designed office is a thing of beauty, and we miss the chance to work together in ours. To remind you about how nice being in the office can be, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite Instagram accounts featuring gorgeous offices around the world. Check them out and let us know what you miss about your office!
