The COVID pandemic fundamentally changed the face of the modern workplace. For the first time in our lifetime offices were forced to close, and many companies had to act swiftly to adopt alternative working methods if they wanted to stay productive.
 
With most workers trapped at home, working from kitchen tables and living room sofas, the strengths of a workplace were thrown into sharp relief. The sense of community, collaborative working and creativity were all but put on hold. On the other hand, the pandemic highlighted many of the shortcomings and the outdated attitudes surrounding our typical way of working. Increased flexibility and work/life balance were a huge attraction to new talent.
 
Since that time, many industries have adjusted to a more modern way of working, and in this episode of Fisher German Talks, we’re focused on just that!. Today we’ll be taking a deep look into the face of the modern workplace, the role of ‘the office’, how hybrid working is becoming the new expected norm and what this means going forward.

On the podcast today, and our final episode for series 2, David Laws, a partner at Matthews & Goodman, is joined by Atul Bansal – founder of The Sheila Bird Studio. Sheila Bird aims to help businesses relocate and re-brand their image.
