Office Moves & Hybrid Work: Why Workplace Support Must Evolve with Your Teams

Office Moves & Hybrid Work: Why Workplace Support Must Evolve with Your Teams

In recent years, we’ve seen a dramatic evolution in how — and where — people work. Organisations across the UK and Ireland are reassessing their workplace strategies, shifting away from traditional office-based models in favour of more flexible, human-centred approaches.

But whether it’s a full office relocation, a downsized HQ, or a decentralised hybrid model, one thing remains constant: your people need the right support to stay healthy, productive and legally protected.

That’s where All Set Workplace comes in. We’re here to make sure that wherever your people work, they’re not only connected — they’re All Set.

The Rise of Flexible Workplaces

Our Across both the public and private sectors, companies are now prioritising flexibility over fixed office presence. It’s no longer about being in the building — it’s about creating the right environment, wherever work happens.

Here are just a few recent examples of how organisations are leading the shift:

1. Bank of Ireland

In 2022, the Bank of Ireland announced a major shift to a hybrid working model. Over 3,500 employees now work remotely for a significant portion of the week, and the bank has reduced its office footprint by consolidating multiple buildings.

2. PwC UK

Professional services giant PwC has adopted a “work where it works” policy, giving staff the flexibility to decide how and where they work best. The firm also introduced a "Summer Working Hours" policy to support better work-life balance.

3. Vodafone Ireland

Vodafone has moved to a hybrid model as its standard working practice, redesigning its Dublin HQ to support flexible working. The space now focuses on collaboration and connection, rather than fixed desks.

These examples illustrate a trend that’s not just about space-saving or modernisation — it’s about enabling people to thrive wherever they are.

Why Workplace Support Matters More Than Ever

As companies embrace these new models, they also take on new responsibilities — especially when it comes to health, safety, and compliance.

Without the right support in place, businesses risk:

• ❌ Non-compliance with UK & Irish workplace regulations (like DSE standards)
  
  

• ❌ Increased employee health complaints (e.g., back pain, eye strain, stress)
  
  

• ❌ Reduced productivity and engagement
  
  

• ❌ Gaps in support between remote and office-based workers
  
  

At All Set Workplace, we help bridge that gap.

Don’t Let Compliance Get Lost in the Move

With office relocation and hybrid strategies in motion, it’s easy to focus on fit-outs, floorplans, and technology. But compliance, comfort and employee wellbeing should be prioritised from the outset — not added as an afterthought.

📌 UK employers must still meet HSE Display Screen Equipment (DSE) requirements, even for home-based staff.

📌 In Ireland, similar regulations apply under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007.

Failure to comply can lead to costly claims, low morale, and health issues that affect your entire business.
