Redesigning the Office to Meet Future Business Needs
This IDC Market Perspective examines the current trends in office redesign, drawing on results from IDC’s 2023 Future of Work Survey. It also provides an overview of the popular technologies used to support seamless collaboration, attract employees, optimize space and cost, and accommodate other frequent business needs."Many employees, used to the comfort and flexibility of working from home, are reluctant to return to the traditional office. Office space planners should thus reimagine the workplace and create an environment that has technological capabilities that exceed those offered by home offices without compromising on ease of use and flexibility." — Senior Research Analyst Zuzana Babicka, European Smart Office, IDC
