In short: A productive office in a hybrid world gives people reasons to come in: spaces for collaboration and meetings, quiet zones for focus, good acoustics, natural light, fresh air and reliable technology. Many firms now plan for 60 to 80% of staff at peak, with shared desks and more meeting space. Measure how the space is used before redesigning, involve staff, and check your lease for alterations and reinstatement obligations. Sometimes moving to a better building is cheaper than a major refit.
