Some desks were removed in our office to ensure a safe distance amongst colleagues while other staff members could make use of the various shared office spaces. In periods of extensive teleworking, we could easily scale down the team because of the flexible resident concept where we can align our office needs with our business needs."

How does your company look at the future of work? What is your ideal office solution?

"The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted a trend which already began several years ago.

In the future, large companies will still have headquarters, but as more companies offer telecommute options and hire remotely, there will be less demand for brick and mortar offices. Technology will continue to play an even bigger role as connectivity will continue to increase. With growing population, making efficient use of (office) space will become more and more important.

For b.fine, the perfect office solution is a place where you want to go, not a place where you have to go."
