COEL has recently been shortlisted for in the Business of the Year (More than 50 Employees) category of the Cambridge Independent SME Cambridgeshire Business Awards. Winners will be revealed at a gala dinner event on Thursday, 13th October.
In the lead up to the awards, our CEO, Alistair Rumbelow was interviewed by the Cambridge Independent about how COEL has been redesigning the post-pandemic workspace.
“Clever organisations took the time when employees were not frequenting the office as much, to make some astute and spectacular changes to the look and feel of their working environment… The professional fields may vary, but there are certain design elements which are playing a consistent part in helping create the destination workplace,” comments Alistair.
He cited versatility, colour, comfort and luxury among today’s must-haves for Coel’s clients. Today’s office is all about “lifting your senses and elevating your mood”.
He goes on to provide examples of recent COEL projects:
In order to attract employees back to the workplace in a post-pandemic working world, employers must focus on wellbeing, collaboration and the needs of individual employees. Remote or hybrid working is not the first choice for everyone so the offices of today must be adaptable enough to offer solutions to varying employee and organisational needs.
Throughout 2021, COEL conducted research with Kelly Drewery, a business psychologist from Talent Glue into how the pandemic has changed the way we work, with over 1000 participants and more than 300 businesses taking part.
The research reveals the social, psychological and physical requirements which individuals and organisations have experienced over the last couple of years. Click here to download this report and access COEL’s workplace solutions to help support businesses moving forward
