What if it was time to change everything and give meaning through wall art? What if art could bring comfort, inspire and answer their questions?
The COVID-19 pandemic and then a war on Europe’s doorstep caused seismic changes in the organizations of companies around the world. As we prepare to return to the physical workplace, how can companies reintegrate staff into their offices in a safe, humane and thoughtful way? Here are some guiding ideas:
A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO THE RETURN TO THE OFFICE
There’s a lot to consider when deciding when and how to invite employees back to their offices post-pandemic. While the timing and specifics of reintegration plans will vary depending on geography and the unique needs of the business, organizations should holistically consider the impact of return-to-work decisions on productivity, efficiency, engagement, culture, collaboration, connectivity, and more. They should also consider the emotions employees will feel about the experience.
DECORATION IS NO LONGER ENOUGH. ART BRINGS NEW SOLUTIONS AND INSPIRES
Human beings have an innate desire to socialize, connect, and interact in group environments that inspire and foster innovation and creativity. As companies begin to return to shared physical workspaces, each organization needs to determine what this new era of work will look like for their company – thinking carefully about what adjustments will or will not align with their company’s mission, vision, brand, culture, and values. Part of this decision-making process must include how to properly incorporate humane, effective, contemporary signage to meet the standards of space use.
BACK TO THE OFFICE .. YES, BUT UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS
Faced with the realization that COVID-19 has claimed the lives of millions of people, organizations understand that personal safety, health, and well-being have become non-negotiable priorities of the utmost importance. So, when it’s time to return to work, companies need to show an unparalleled commitment to protecting employees. Technological advancements are fueling exciting breakthroughs in every industry. In the design world, the rise of sophisticated IT tools has allowed teams to automate the repetitive and often time-consuming aspects of their workflows.
