From supporting the basic needs of our people through to creating an inspirational experience, the Destination Office provides a bedrock for creating a space that people want to work from.
The phrase Destination Office was a term coined by Claremont in 2020. It was a prediction we made as we looked at how the Covid19 pandemic could change the workplace as businesses across the globe shifted into remote working, and once restrictions were lifted, what would bring colleagues back into the office.
When embraced fully, the Destination Office will become the beacon of an organisation – a hub for sociability, culture, belonging, skills development and ideas generation. As such, it will contain a rich variety of settings to reflect the more task-based and transient needs of the hybrid worker.
The Destination Office consists of nine spaces throughout the office; from wellbeing focused zones such as The Retreat through to collaboration areas such as The Co-Working Bureau, Library and Academy.
The definition of the workplace has changed. If the office is no longer the every-day destination for work – it must instead become a place sought out for the experiences that can’t be had remotely – namely those rich in face to face contact, collaboration and socialisation.
