Creating a Workspace That Supports Hybrid Working and Employee Wellbeing
By now, most of us are familiar with hybrid working—a flexible arrangement that allows employees to split their time between remote work and a central office. While this model offers greater flexibility, it also raises an important question:
How do we design a workspace that truly supports employee wellbeing and productivity?
One key solution is to create a comfortable and adaptable work environment—one that not only meets the needs of hybrid workers but also maximizes their time in the office. Thoughtfully designed spaces can boost focus, collaboration, and overall job satisfaction.
That’s where we come in! We’ve curated a selection of our favourite workspace solutions for hybrid working, from moveable acoustic screens and co-working tables to touchdown desks and quiet corners—ensuring that every employee has a space that works for them.

Desk space
While hybrid working may reduce the need for dedicated desk space, having a well-equipped workstation remains essential. Employees still need a comfortable and functional setup when working in the office. This means providing a clear, clutter-free desk, a supportive office chair, and easy access to power sources for charging and connecting devices. Ensuring these essentials are in place helps create a productive environment, making the office a space where employees can work efficiently and comfortably.
Screen dividers
A versatile solution for dividing space, moveable screens offer flexibility to adapt work environments as needed. Whether used minimally or as standout design features, they come with added benefits such as acoustic properties, whiteboard surfaces, or pin board options. Ideal for open-plan offices and creative spaces, these screens help enhance privacy, collaboration, and focus, making them a smart addition to any hybrid workspace.
Social spaces
One of the biggest draws of returning to the office is the human connection. While technology keeps us connected remotely, nothing quite compares to spontaneous conversations over a cup of tea. Research shows that these interactions boost productivity, creativity, and workplace morale. So why not design your workspace to encourage collaboration? By creating inviting social areas, breakout spaces, and communal hubs, you can foster meaningful connections that make the office an engaging and inspiring place to be.
Quiet corners
With employees embracing flexible working, it might be tempting to prioritise soft seating and social areas over traditional focus spaces. But hold on—a balanced workspace is key! Employees still need dedicated areas to take calls, hold quick meetings, or focus on individual tasks like writing reports. It’s also important to recognize that everyone works differently—while some thrive in collaborative environments, others need quieter spaces to be at their best. A well-designed office should offer a mix of social and focus areas, ensuring that all employees have the right environment to work comfortably and productively.
