Hybrid work leads to mid-week crowding and need to retain space
Despite some employees still working remotely, managers recognize the wisdom of keeping their same office square footage.
Why are companies retaining the same office space despite hybrid work?
Managers recognize that hybrid work often leads to mid-week crowding, where employees tend to come into the office on the same days. This pattern means that a reduction in remote work does not necessarily lead to a proportional decrease in space requirements. As a result, many companies find it necessary to retain the same amount of office space.
What trends are influencing office attendance policies?
Recent trends show a shift in office attendance policies, with companies like Meta and Skadden, Arps announcing new mandates that require employees to be in the office three to four days a week. This reflects a growing emphasis on in-person collaboration and social interaction, which many employees value. As these policies evolve, companies are adapting their space requirements accordingly.
How has office attendance changed since the pandemic?
Since the pandemic began, office attendance has shown seasonal variations. For instance, in the fourth quarter of 2022, attendance was 20% higher than in the first five months of the year, and in 2021, it was nearly 50% higher. This trend indicates that employees are increasingly returning to the office, particularly during specific times of the year.
