Many companies are currently thinking about revising their location strategy. The HQ trend, often within metropolitan areas, seems to be flattening out. Projects for renovations or new builds have often been paused during the year to consider how best to proceed. Many (or all?) employees were also able to work from home during the COVID-19 crisis. Perhaps it was similar in your company. We realize that a central office is not absolutely necessary. Or at least, not to the extent of providing every employee with a dedicated workstation.       <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Strategien\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">So what are possible strategies for the future?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">An alternative to a large central office could be to relocate the workforce to several smaller offices in the surrounding area. Due to the reduced space requirements, real estate opportunities can be identified that would not have been compatible for a large team. This option is often popular with employees who do not like commuting into the city.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19182\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19182\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9828 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ourforte.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ant-rozetsky-HXOllTSwrpM-unsplash-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Decentralized offices made possible by smart office technology\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourforte.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ant-rozetsky-HXOllTSwrpM-unsplash-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ourforte.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ant-rozetsky-HXOllTSwrpM-unsplash-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourforte.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ant-rozetsky-HXOllTSwrpM-unsplash-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourforte.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ant-rozetsky-HXOllTSwrpM-unsplash-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ourforte.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ant-rozetsky-HXOllTSwrpM-unsplash-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Picture: Ant Rozetsky \/ Unsplash<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another variant has been made possible by the now tried and tested home office deployment. Instead of simply assigning each employee a fixed workstation on their own premises, which can then only be used a small percentage of the time, more flexible workstations are offered. Employees can therefore choose and select a workstation that is suitable for them depending on their daily routine. In addition to focus areas, conference areas and huddle spaces, this naturally also includes the home office.   <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Transformationen\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Smart Office can support digital transformations<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, yes, these options exist, but that&#8217;s nothing new.
