Formaspace is ready to meet the latest challenges in how and where work happens!
Challenge #1:
Champion Employee Well-Being, Safety, and Trust Concerns
Today, we are all asking ourselves the same questions, “Does this place have my well-being in mind?” and “Can I trust I will be safe here?” Professionals in the furniture industry can help shape the answers to these questions — by creating residential, retail, hospitality, healthcare, laboratory, and office environments that are sensitive to today’s well-being, safety, and trust concerns.
Challenge #2:
Help Employers Meet Difficult Recruiting and Retention Goals
CEOs rank talent acquisition (and retention) as a top business challenge. This opens the door for furniture professionals to help create new kinds of workspace staffing concepts and floor plan layouts, such as hybrid work environments, to expand the talent pool and attract sought-after workers from a wider geographical area.

Boost Flexibility to Enhance Life/Work Balance |
Flexibility on the job has leaped to the top of employee amenity/policy requests, joining forces with life/work balance as the primary differentiating factor when workers choose a place of employment. | |
Encourage Well-Being, Safety, and Trust |
The equation is simple. If people lack trust in a built physical space, they will quickly choose another environment that supports their personal well-being, safety, and health. | |
Power Up Talent and Skills Acquisition |
Studies show that CEOs now rank talent acquisition and retention as a top priority. To achieve these ambitious goals, employers need to up their game in attracting workers while keeping and training the ones they have. Remote and Hybrid work solutions can help increase the available talent pool by expanding geographical reach. | |
Build a Sense of Loyalty and Belonging |
Now more than ever, people want a sense of belonging — allowing furniture professionals to create indoor and outdoor environments that create long-term loyalty among employees and customers alike. | |
Leverage Every Space for Live, Work, and Play |
People want to move easily between home, work, and those in-between spaces – whether it’s coffee shops, restaurants, sporting events, or entertainment venues — giving employers and property developers new incentives to build innovative work and play environments – while potentially saving money by reducing the size of their real estate floorplate. |
The Bottom Line?
Our industry is in an unprecedented time of change as a new era and definition of “work” has arrived. It’s a structural shift – accelerated by the pandemic – that is transforming company policies and long-held management beliefs and perspectives on how and where work happens.
In this new world, we have the opportunity to rewrite the script –paving the way for new opportunities and creative ideas to help attract and retain talent – from more flexible company work policies to new innovations in built environments – and everything in between.
