As major tech firms ask staff to return to the office full or part-time, having an appealing workspace can help encourage that transition.
Apple told its employees back in 2022 that they had to return to the office at least three days a week, a decision that CEO Tim Cook said was meant to restore “in-person collaboration.”
More recently, Amazon announced in September that it’s requiring corporate workers to be in the office five days a week starting in January. Dell also told its sales staff to return to the office five days a week from September 30.
Big Tech firms are often commended for their striking offices, and having an attractive workplace can help boost office attendance — just ask Pinterest.
Even though its goal when it opened its new Dublin workplace in April wasn’t to attract more people to the office, having a cool and quirky space for employees to work has certainly helped.
Kathy Aberin, Pinterest’s director of workplace design and construction, previously told Business Insider that the company saw a 55% increase in office attendance once it opened the Dublin office, which even has its own pub.
A good office design has also been said to contribute to employee satisfaction and boost productivity.
