Employees wellbeing has never been more of a priority. 1 in 6 people report experiencing a common mental health problem such as anxiety or depression in any given week in England (Mind).
From mental health challenges, changes to working environments and increased noise in workplace settings, it is key to have the right workplace wellbeing strategy and support in place.
Our HR services and consulting team have the expertise to help businesses improve psychological safety as well as physical health and wellbeing for hybrid work, by devising tailored physical and behavioural workplace solutions.
The proportion of homeworkers planning to work mostly from home rose 12 percentage points between April 2021 and February 2022 (Office for National Statistics, 2022)
Many are now used to working from home and enjoying control over their environment. They may be reluctant to go back to old ways of working or an office which they feel does not support them or their team.
Our hybrid working consultants help clients with the strategy, framework and toolkit to make their workplaces become destinations, not obligations, putting employee experience at the forefront.
77% of UK organisations plan to reconfigure their existing office space. 50% think they will reduce the size of their office portfolio (PwC Future of the Office Survey, 2022)

Smart building technology plays a fundamental role in the efficient and stress-free use of physical workplaces, with easy booking of spaces, and sensor data communicating quiet and busy times so that usage can be spread more evenly across the week. We help clients assess the options and implement the technology.
Businesses need to balance what is best for their employees with what is best for the business. In many cases having a ‘remote first’ approach with fully dispersed teams may not be best for culture, collaboration or creativity.
We can help you deliver collaborative hybrid working frameworks that are transparent and fair. This enables effective hybrid working and support employee wellbeing as well as business growth.
Businesses striving to achieve their ESG goals may need to look beyond the commonly held view that working from home is good for the environment. For example home working is associated with a large reduction in use of public transport, and an even larger increase in non-work car journeys. (Hook, 2020)
Our workplace sustainability consultants help businesses look at the wider picture, assessing the carbon impact of hybrid work. It’s not as simple as we thought. Wider awareness and measurement is needed. For example there will be a greater carbon footprint of those working in poorly insulated homes in winter compared with modern offices which tend to be significantly more energy efficient.
