It’s time to get back to work.
If you’re a business owner or manager, take note: the office should reflect the working environment in 2022. That means flexible and adaptive, with a variety of arrangements for different styles. The truth is that many offices simply aren’t ready for it. In this blog, we’ll offer a few tips (and accompanying products) that will get yours on the right track.
With each new solution, our aim is to tackle some of these issues head-on—and put you in the best position to welcome employees back to a space they’ll enjoy working in. And that is the key takeaway: many offices need an update, and employees are taking notice. Work is dynamic and the spaces we work in should be dynamic as well.
Here’s how to take stock of your space and find a solution that fits an ever-evolving workforce.

Tip #1: Transform Any Office Workspace, From Heads-Down to Touchdown, for Ultimate Collaboration
Much like the nature of work itself, the way we collaborate will be different as we return to the workplace. This is where the need for versatility comes to the forefront—and HON has options to meet that need. Any workplace can be configured for heads-down work thanks to the style, comfort and functionality of the HON collection of seating. That same space can quickly transform into a gathering place to meet as a team for quick chats or brainstorms.
The ability to get things done, talk things through and simply gather for brief discussions is what makes HON seating a dynamic solution for any office.
Tip #2: Create a Clean and Collaborative Environment for Your Employees
We know that storage isn’t always the furniture item atop everyone’s list. However, storage is more than just a place to stow your belongings. It can be a comprehensive workplace solution—and we believe it should be versatile and customizable.
Take Fuse™ storage, for example. Fuse can match any office aesthetic with several fabric options and colors, and these units double as seating that can be swiveled around for one-on-one or quick group discussions. And of course, Fuse is ideal for storing work and personal items. In addition, we think of Contain® storage as “clutter’s worst enemy,” due to a versatile design that is durable, distinctive and brings people together.

Tip #3: Set Up Your Small Office Space So Employees Can Tackle Projects Large and Small
Just because you have a smaller office doesn’t mean you can’t do big things. That was one of the inspirations behind Workwall: to create a centralized hub for great work, and turn an ordinary workplace into a next-level workplace. Workwall features a variety of accessories and customizable options, including fabrics, laminates, metals and more—allowing you to craft Workwall to fit the aesthetic of your office.

If you’re going to use part of your space as a gathering spot, you can build a Workwall with a media center within it, which is great for presentations, brainstorms and more. The other benefit to Workwall is organization (because clutter always finds a way to expand!). Workwall is fit to store tech, notes, files and more—and store it all in style.
Tip #4: Make That Home Office More Productive Too
We would be remiss if we overlooked your home office. While many are returning to the office, most of us are doing so in a hybrid model. If you have yet to make an investment in your at-home ergonomic comfort, now is the time to make sure you are positioned for productivity in BOTH spaces with a flexible and reliable chair that provides the support you need and a desk to match. Your health is too important to spend your time in a seat that doesn’t support you throughout the work day. The Ignition® 2.0 chair and Coordinate™ desk are the perfect combination for at-home productivity.
