What’s Next for the Workspace? Back to the office, work from home or Hybrid- What's Working? - By Balaji Pasumarthy Work From Home to Hybrid Office The Pandemic has forced all of us to take a fresh look at where we work . By default, work mostly happened in the office. Now that more than a year has passed, forcing most of us to work from home, it's time to take stock for the future and ask the question, “Which is the more effective work space?'' Dropbox, in an internal survey found that nearly 90% of the workforce are more focused at home and just as engaged as before (in the office), and do not want to go back to a rigid 5-day office workweek. At the same time, in the blog they share, “workers also say company culture suffers from no in-person interaction, risk of miscommunication is higher, and it’s harder to start new projects with multiple collaborators. There are many things people miss about the office.” Apple has always been a proponent of working from th

  4 Features of the Ideal CA Office And how the pandemic has affected them When you hear about a Chartered Accountant and the nature of their work, a very clear image forms in your mind- A highly qualified and specialized individual in a full but tidy office stacked with files, bills, receipts, and documents, structured and organized in a way that only they can navigate. Needless to say, a CA may be very keen about their office space preferences. But what exactly does an Accounting Firm or Chartered Accountant look for in an office? What are the needs that an office needs to fulfill? Have these needs changed since the pandemic and lockdown? Here’s what we found out after speaking to a number of professionals: The unifying theme? Every practicing CA or Accounting firm, first and foremost, needs an office setup that is ‘Neat, Clean and Organized’. This is considered in the following aspects of office space: 1. Layout & Design Design and layout require attention to detail, as the in

  Software developers all have the same amount of time every week. Some use that time effectively to ship great products and others push things to the next sprint. For a software development team to have peak productivity, both skillset and work environment matters. Unfortunately, even for the most skilled teams, the modern work environment can become a productivity killer. Constant pings on messaging apps, interruptions from well meaning office colleagues, and the constant pull of emails, social media, and other time killers make a team highly unproductive. How can we design a better work environment for a more productive software development team? Current office designs are not suitable for teams that require uninterrupted time to do deep focused work. Most offices are designed with an open office plan. These are terrible for focused work, or any kind of deep work.  Most companies decide to implement an open office plan due to cost consideration. But they come with a lot of disadvant

  What’s the next step? What’s the next step I need to take in order to ensure that my company makes it through these uncertain times? As a business owner and entrepreneur, you’ve certainly had to re-evaluate much about your business over the past year. Before success or even sustainability, it’s time now to look to survival- to cut out all the non-essential costs and keep the business alive. You may be looking towards downsizing and surrendering your office...but with the ambiguity regarding the future, it can be daunting to get locked in with a smaller space. At the same time, jumping from office to office, with all the paperwork and energy that it entails, is not at all a viable solution. So what’s the next step? How do we find stability? It’s simple. Register your Business at a Professional Address- When you register your Office at a space like Golden Square, you promptly solve many of the challenges that come with gauging the longevity of such a unique situat

            Back when the world seemed just a little bit more sane, the ability to work from home was, generally speaking, a foreign concept. In companies of all sizes, working from home was a rare exception given to a select few employees, often due to specific situations. Even freelancers and entrepreneurs were making the shift to serviced offices and coworking spaces.          Around mid-March, however, we were all forced to adapt to this previously coveted work situation under the worst of circumstances. Our day to day routines were shaken as working from home was at first encouraged and then made mandatory.          The daily hour-long commutes have been replaced by zoom calls, the morning routine replaced by cooking and cleaning while formal pants have been replaced by pajamas (usually). Having a home office or a study is not too common. Hence, the office is now your living room or your dining table (or even your bedroom if you're feeling particularly daring
