News from the world of OSiT

If you are looking for the best place to keep up with what is happening in our world of workspace, you’ve found it. Here is all of our latest news...

Have you noticed a difference since the clocks went back last weekend? To some, the change may seem insignificant but, for many of us, this can have an impact on our energy levels, productivity and wellbeing.

The much publicised decline of WeWork has potentially significant consequences for the company’s tenants (who risk losing their business premises), employees (who have experienced a wave of staff cuts recently) and landlords (who are potentially facing large losses of income in unpaid rental arrears.

With each day that the pandemic persists, the UK’s productivity is suffering. In fact, a record fall in output per worker of 19.9% in the last year is staggering evidence of this. Employees working remotely are demotivated, burned out and lacking the many benefits of office work.

After an extended period of time where we have been told to stay indoors, protect the NHS and save lives, returning to the office and changing our behaviour patterns won't necessarily be easy. Many people will be concerned, even anxious about the thought of returning to work, their commute and integrating with colleagues. The OSiT team is here to help ease the transition back to the office and to help our clients and staff feel confident as they return to work. So, how are we doing this?

Office Space in Town, today announces the opening of its latest stunning serviced office development at 22 Tudor Street, in the heart of London’s prestigious Midtown district. The building has just completed an extensive £8.5 million refurbishment and is now open to clients.

Sales companies operating out of offices to rent in Edinburgh may wish to focus on mobile and online commerce, following the advice of one expert. Ben Sillitoe, editor of industry publication Retail Gazette, noted that these are a driving force for the industry.
