The status quo of the 5-day work week in the office is a thing of the past. Modern circumstances have shifted in favour of Hybrid Home-Office Working.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">There are numerous benefits to Hybrid Home-Office Working. Employees are able to spend more time with loved ones, they can reduce lengthy commutes (lowering carbon emissions) \u2013 each contributing to positive mental health work practices.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">The wellbeing of employees and the wellbeing of a business as a whole are inherently connected.\u00a0 Employee satisfaction, productivity, efficiency, and office space and management cost-savings can be dramatically improved.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">And whilst hybrid working and downsized offices bring their own challenges, new flexible workspace offerings provide businesses with solutions to providing working environments where and when they\u2019re required. Meeting rooms and co-working spaces that can be booked throughout the UK on a pay-as-you-go basis for short durations (from one hour+) facilitating important video meetings near employees\u2019 homes, or as supplemental spaces near re-sized offices, can assist in the challenge.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Find out more about improving workplace wellbeing by visiting <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/workingfamilies.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">WorkingFamilies.org.uk<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> and visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bludesks.com\/remote-working\/corporate-membership\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Remote Working Corporate Membership | Pay-As-You-Go| BluDesks<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> to learn about real workspace flexibility.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With National Work Life Week well under way, now is a great opportunity to focus on wellbeing in the workplace and the importance of a healthy work-life balance.
