Connecting experiences beyond the workplace

When Doni Santos and Flora Cheung from our Singapore office wanted to take the engagement and excitement around a client’s new office beyond the workplace and reach employees’ families, they produced a brilliant innovation – to recreate the fit-out in the virtual world of Minecraft and ask children to design the workplace of the future.

The office as we know it has changed. Here are the top strategies that leading companies are using to align their real estate with both business needs and employee comfort levels.

As businesses adapt to a new normal, some may be looking to downsize when it comes to office space. Decisions on when to do this could be driven by a lease expiring, or the need to cut costs. However, various questions will need to be considered first, such as how much work needs to be carried out in an office; what is the safest option for employee health and safety; and what is the best solution for the organisation?

As the world starts to emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, many businesses will be looking to implement remote working as the ‘new norm’.

Many countries across the world are beginning to ease lockdown restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing staff to return to work.

In Hong Kong, MovePlan has already been supporting businesses to return to work. There, exposure and spread of the virus was identified and controlled early, which limited high rates of infection and death. This has allowed people to return to some sort of normality sooner than other places, such as the UK and the US, where the majority of people are still working from home.
