As business leaders face the challenge of getting back to the workplace and what that should look like, now is the time to consider the opportunity to reimagine and move their business forward to where they believe it should be.

Leaders should seek to harness and cultivate the new mindset their organisation has adopted and displayed in recent months. It was a willingness to embrace change that enabled organisations to move to mass remote working in such a short space of time. This same mindset can, therefore, be the enabler for new initiatives and opportunities. As the future will require a workforce that is agile, flexible and adaptable.

This same attitude can be the enabler for new ways of working, as success and growth will come from a workforce that is even more agile, flexible and adaptable than before.

Ultimately, the foundation of a successful workplace is your people and the way they interact to achieve their goals and perform to the best of their ability. You need to ensure your people are engaged and productive, able to communicate and collaborate effectively. Therefore the workplace does not need to be a set location, visited daily with one specific function. It can become a fluid, smarter space, designed as a place of community, innovation and learning.
