Don’t need an office? Think again.
When Covid hit and everyone either worked from home or watched Netflix, many pundits claimed this was the end of the office. There was no longer any need to “go” to work when you can roll out of bed and sit in front of your computer all day.
Reality has proven somewhat different, and a study just released by JCDecaux in New Zealand tells us three interesting things:
- 76% of New Zealand workers are back to their regular schedule of going to the office every day
- 58% of New Zealand workers are spending 100% of the working day in the office
- 90% of New Zealand workers are back in the office at least three days a week
Now JCDecaux sells billboards, so it is in their interest to see cars on the road and foot traffic downtown. However, anecdotally anyone who drives in Auckland will have noticed road traffic during commute times is back to pre-pandemic levels. In fact, some studies show it is exceeding pre-pandemic levels.
People need a place to congregate and share ideas to get work done. The office isn’t going away. Keep yours clean. Give us a call!
