Life in the workplace has changed drastically over the last few years, as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted all aspects
of daily life in the office. As the world begins to inch toward a new normal, life in the workforce will never be the same. If you are a business owner looking to the future, making major changes to your company or office can seem overwhelming. In 2022, many employees value flexible schedules and positive, respectful work environments more than any other factor in the workplace. Here are 3 easy changes you can make to your company to improve your office in 2022.
Company Values
In recent years, society seems to have reached a turning point where crucial, and often identity-based issues can no longer be put aside in the workplace. An emphasis on diversity and equity has caused many companies to re-evaluate their policies on diversity and inclusion and how they choose to participate in social and political movements. In 2022, executives will need to continue to address equity in the workplace as a diverse range of employees should continue to be hired, and will need to know that their identities and experiences matter. Companies like HSI specialize in workplace training in areas such as Diversity and Inclusion, which can educate all team members on the importance of these practices both in and out of the office.

Flexibility
If your employees do not already have a hybrid work option available that gives them the freedom to work remotely, it is a good idea to consider adopting this practice moving forward. As the COVID-19 pandemic has made it possible for many employees across many industries to work remotely, this has created a new way of conducting business that is beginning to be expected from employees. Although many parts of working during the pandemic were unfavorable, many people found that they enjoyed working from the comfort of their own homes, or at least having the option to do so. To remain in competition with other companies in your industry, try to allow for flexible scheduling and the option of remote work.
Workplace Environment
Creating a positive work environment that puts the mental wellbeing of your team first can make all the difference in the attitude and productivity levels among employees. Opting for more collaborative workspaces, fun items in the break room (a pool table, a TV, etc.), or fun work outings that will build rapport among coworkers are all great ways to liven up your office and build connections with your team.
