Over 40% of respondents are working more than 4 hours a week at home, 20% in serviced office and 30% when travelling – so in each case more than half of a working day. And additionally 30% uses coffee shops as a work base during average week.
But standard office isn’t dying - over 50% still do more than 80% of their work in a central location.

The changing workplace
- The worker going to work is evolving to work coming to the worker.
- The end of the century saw the evolution of ‘hot desking’ as a familiar concept. But at that time, the technology wasn’t available to make it more than an internal ‘timeshare’ model whose primary benefit was to save space.
- With more and more people working remotely – from home, from customers’ premises or ad hoc on the road, as freelancers, or for themselves – the role of the traditional office will change. Having been originally designed for isolated, desk bound individual workers, the new era of smart working will see smart offices to cater for them
