Smart Office – Innovative Working Environment Bringing all Generations Together in the Office

The corporate world is rapidly evolving, and companies need to adapt to new working realities to maintain their competitiveness. With different generations sharing the same workspace, and the emergence of the Flex Office, it’s vital to offer solutions that meet everyone’s needs and preferences. 
Indeed, hybrid working points to an important challenge in intergenerational working environments: employees who are in favour of the Flex Office and those who are more reluctant to embrace it. 
At SharingCloud, Smart Office expert, we created the WorkplaceToBe solution, which brings together a wide range of integrated applications perfectly suited to the needs of all generations within companies. Based on the latest report from IDET – Institut pour le Développement des Environnements de Travail (Institute for the Development of Work Environments) entitled “La cohabitation de générations dans les espaces de travail – Mai 2023” (Generational mix in the workplace – May 2023), we can figure out how our WorkplaceToBe solution adapts to everyone’s needs.

A Personalized Employee Experience for Each Generation

The IDET report highlights the differences in work preferences and expectations between generations. Baby boomers may retain traditional ways of managing work, while millennials and Generation Z are looking for greater flexibility and mobility. WorkplaceToBe meets these needs by offering a customized employee experience, with the right tools and services for each employee, to optimize productivity and satisfaction at work. 

Flex Office and Hybrid Work Made Easy

With the advent of Flex Office and hybrid work, where employees alternate between the office and remote working, it’s becoming essential to offer tools that help manage these modes of working effectively. WorkplaceToBe provides a simple, easy-to-use interface that enables employees to: 

• Schedule their presence at the office taking into account that of their teams. 
• Book meeting spaces. 

• Access all corporate news and resources, wherever they are. 

Integration with Leading Productivity Suites 

Older generations can sometimes be less comfortable with new technologies, particularly when it comes to managing administrative processes. The WorkplaceToBe solution is fully integrated with the most widely used productivity suites, such as Microsoft Outlook and Teams, as well as Google Workspace. This integration means that employees can keep using their preferred and familiar tools while taking advantage of WorkplaceToBe advanced features, helping all generations to become more efficient in their day-to-day activities. 

The latest IDET report highlights the importance of taking generational differences into account in modern workspaces, particularly with the rise of Flex Office.
