'Office peacocking' | The new workplace trend getting staff back to the office

In today’s candidate market, flexibility is one of the best benefits you can offer to keep yourself as a competitive employer.

However, for many businesses, flexibility just isn’t a viable long-term option. And so, mandating that staff return to the office has become a necessary evil – especially because staff are increasingly disengaging from work or leaving their job altogether in search of a more flexible role.

One way businesses are attempting to offset the consequences of their return-to-office mandate, is through a new trend dubbed ‘office peacocking’ whereby in a bid to get staff back to the office, employers are revamping their office interior to something more homely and attractive.

But ‘office peacocking’ isn’t only about getting employees back to the office with plush interiors, it’s about redefining what an office space can be.
