Workplace Dynamics

While workplace dynamics have changed over the years from encouraging employees to work independently in separate offices to being more collaborative in open workspaces, COVID-19 has forced those dynamics to change even more. The pandemic has caused companies to shift their procedures and workplace environments to allow and support employees to work remotely.

With this shift, it has made many companies, big and small, rethink their office situation with many turning towards the coworking model to downsize their office spaces and allow their employees to be flexible with coming in to work and working from home.
