A year at POS

In many ways 2020 has been a year that a lot of us would like to forget. But despite its ups and downs, it's been a year we have been able to learn from.

Contactless, hassle-free room and desk booking

Activity-based working is a cost-saving, productivity enhancing business strategy that provides people with a choice of settings for a variety of workplace activities.

The WELL Building Standard - Fitness Concept

In a recent study conducted by POS, a staggering 60.54% of respondents in Guernsey said the design of their workplaces did not encourage them to be physically active.

Improving productivity in the workplace

Many aspects, including noise, temperature, comfort and lighting, can impact productivity, both positively and negatively. In this article we look at ways of increasing productivity by making changes to our surroundings.

The POS survey results

In September we conducted a survey to find out how working patterns have changed since lockdown. The results are in and we now have a much clearer picture of what people like and dislike about working from their home or office, and how employers can make their workplace more attractive to staff.

Three fifths now prefer a mix of working from the office and home. But is communication and collaboration being hampered? They key to reversing the trend is to understand what's making staff want to stay home.

Attracting staff back into the office

Returning to Work

We’re going back! Guernsey is the first place in the British Isles that is covid-free. This huge achievement is credit to our rigorous track and trace system, along with the unwavering community spirit and strict following of the lockdown rules that have resulted in the virus being eliminated. We are now at the forefront of the world that will be returning to work in ‘normal’ circumstances...

The New Working Normal

We are now in the process of moving through the exit phases, with glorious weather welcoming in phase four. As excited as we all are for the return of the takeaways (good reason to put the unlimited recreational time to good use…) it also means that the slow return to the workplace begins.

Seeing the POSitives

At POS, our purpose is to inspire people. Usually we do that through designing spaces that are inspiring, but right now promoting wellbeing and POSitivity is just as important to us. We’ve had a think about what the benefits of the new ‘Stay at Home’ measures are…

How to stay POSitive

This is an unknown time that we are experiencing, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Recent measures that have been advised mean that our normal life is going to change – but we can still be positive and productive. Working from home is going to be a reality for most of us so we’ve thought about our favourite methods we use in our design phase for clients to make sure you stay inspired.

New decade, same stress?

It’s January, so gyms are full, and supermarkets are stocking buzzword products with ‘added protein’ and ‘no added sugar’. This can change your body but there is something that has a bigger impact than your healthy meal plan… stress.

Pod Save Us

It’s no secret, we’re all getting more stressed.
