The Adaptive Workplace White Paper

Designing the Workplace for the Future

More than 40%* of Australians found themselves working from home following the global COVID-19 pandemic, supercharging flexible work practices and creating one of the biggest workplace experiments of the century.

Organisations responded quickly, accelerating technology almost overnight so their workforces could transition to remote working without disruption. As the pandemic extends into its third year making working from home second nature, we are entering the next wave of experimentation – hybrid work from home models.

Mirvac currently has a unique opportunity to rethink the nature of work; to improve remote support for a range of professional practices, and to use what we have learned so far to improve in-office and hybrid practices.

As a company whose purpose it is to reimagine urban life, it’s vital we understand and leverage the massive transition underway to help our customers successfully navigate this new era of work – and the new role of ‘the office’.

In our research paper, COVID-19 and the Changing World of Work, we highlight that the experiences of 2020 have paved the way for some exciting changes to the business corporate landscape – not to mention the way we approach work and life itself. In the research below, we outline the seismic shift taking place in work that is seeing traditional workplace models and metrics, flipped.

As companies have reopened their offices across the country, it is critical for organisations to focus on what the purpose of their office is within the workplace ecosystem – and to design a space that entices, energises and enables people to be their best.
