Only 12 percent want to return to full-time office work, and 72 percent want a hybrid remote-office model in the future. An increasing number of Warp It members are undergoing large scale changes to how they are working and this has numerous impacts on furniture and equipment needs and issues.  For example, they are undertaking large clearances to reshape and reimagine their spaces as they adopt a hybrid working approach are increasing massively.

How will we track furniture owned by an organisation and located in staff’s personal space? - Health and safety; ensuring all office furniture is fit for purpose and staff can work safely and comfortably wherever they are. - What happens to these assets when staff want to replace them? We need to ensure they are returned to the Warp It reuse system or disposed of correctly. - The need for, and how to manage, on and off-site storage of items when future policy is not clear. - What do we do with all these old redundant items which are not fit for the new way or working? ***Areas of improvement within our software may include:*** - Sales of assets to staff and third parties - Management of stores on site and off site - Tracking assets being used as part of work from home and ensuring safety - Donations to local businesses and even householders!   Join us on Wednesday 3rd  November 2021 at 1.30pm for an exploration into how Warp It can help manage the transition to hybrid working.
