Our response to COVID-19

We find ourselves in strange times – many businesses were hurried into a lockdown without having the luxury of time to think strategically. The essential issue was finding a way to maintain a level of work activity in the unprecedented circumstances but with no time to think about anything other than the immediate practicalities. No-one considered that this could potentially change the way we view the world of work in the longer term.

We have been approached by a number of organisations looking for our guidance and support on what the best strategy for returning to the office will look like, we are conscious that every organisation has different challenges and are in different situations, which means – One Size is Unlikely to Fit All!

We believe a hybrid work style is here to stay.

To create a meaningful workplace that delivers value for the business itself and the people who work there, the office will need to become a Destination in itself.

This latest report covers some of our thinking about future trends in the workplace, and we hope it stimulates some thoughts and ideas within your own organisation.

From the first recorded cases of Covid-19 in the UK at the start of the year we’ve been focusing on managing and mitigating the risks to both projects and people across our sites.

We implemented Government guidelines from day one with increased health and safety signage, tool box talks and regular morning briefings, eventually moving these outside as an extra precaution.
