"Inxalenye yendlela uyilo olunokubaqhuba ngayo abantu ukuba babuyele eofisini kukubonakalisa ngokwenene oko kuye kwaba ngcwele ebantwini njengoko besenza.’ndisebenzele ekhaya unyaka."
B Ngaphambi kuka-2020, ngubani owayenokucinga ukuba kwakunokwenzeka ukuba kwenziwe umsebenzi ekhaya ukusuka phakathi kwegumbi lokudlala? Okanye ufumane inkuthazo ngelixa uhleli etafileni ekhitshini? Phambi kwe-COVID-19, abasebenzi baseofisini babenyanisekile kwiidesika zabo ezimileyo kunye nabahloli ababini—ibekwe kwindawo engazange ibonwe’t kabini njengendawo yokulala yeendwendwe. Kodwa ngokukhutshwa kogonyo lwe-COVID-19, kwaye abasebenzi sele beqhele ukusebenza bekude, iinkampani ziyazibuza ukuba zingawulungelelanisa njani umnqweno wokuguquguquka kunye nesidingo sokuba seofisini yentsebenziswano. Ngokusebenzisa amandla oyilo oluhle, abanini bamashishini bathembele ekutsaleni abasebenzi ukuba babuyele emsebenzini.
Benson Hill , inkampani yeteknoloji yokutya eyayiyeyokuqala eSt. Louis ukufumana inkxaso-mali kuGoogle, isandula ukusebenza kunye noyilo lwezakhiwo kunye nefemu yoyilo Arcturis ukuguqula ikomkhulu layo kwikhampasi ye Donald Danforth Plant Science Centre eCreve Coeur. Indawo ibonisa imibala yendalo—indigo, eluhlaza, teal—kunye nokugqiba okunjalo njenge-walnut kunye nethayile yodongwe njengentloko kwinkampani’s umsebenzi kubuchwepheshe bezolimo. Ukukhanya kunokutshintsha ubushushu bombala (ukusuka kubushushu ukuya kwimithunzi epholileyo) ukunxulumana nobushushu bemibala elahlukileyo. Izinto ezisebenza ngaphezulu zilinganisa inkangeleko yemibhobho yokunkcenkceshela, kwaye iilebhu zifumana i-100 lepesenti yomoya omtsha enkosi kujikelezo lwangoku (oluxatyisiweyo kakhulu kwihlabathi lasemva kwe-COVID). Ngaphandle kwenkampani’Ikhitshi le-s ligumbi lokuhlala eliguqukayo elimemayo eliziva lisondelelene ngokwaneleyo ukuba lisebenze lilodwa okanye lingalungiswa ukuze likwazi ukuhlalisa i-350 yeholo yedolophu.–intlanganiso yesimbo. Izitebhisi zibonelela ngekhefu lokwakha phakathi kweofisi kunye neendawo zelebhu. IiLebhu zineefestile zokujonga ukubukela abaphandi emsebenzini.
UMegan Ridgeway ngumongameli waseArcturis. Uthi okubalulekileyo kuyilo lweofisi ngo-2021 yi “indawo yokusebenzela yokuzikhethela” “Inxalenye yendlela uyilo olunokubaqhuba ngayo abantu ukuba babuyele eofisini kukubonakalisa ngokwenene oko kuye kwaba ngcwele ebantwini njengoko besenza.’ndisebenze ekhaya unyaka,” uthi. Oko kusenokuthetha ukukrola amagumbi omsebenzi ogxile entloko, iindawo ezikhulu ngokwaneleyo ukuba zingasebenzisana kodwa zisenokuvumela indawo yokuhlala, kunye negumbi lezempilo apho umqeshwa anokuthi abaleke imizuzu emihlanu ukuze acamngce okanye asele ikomityi yekofu. I-Post-COVID, i-Ridgeway iya kuyichaza loo nto njengemfuneko ngaphezu koncedo.
Benson Hill’I-CEO, uMat Crisp, waqaphela ukuba isitshixo kuyilo oluyimpumelelo lweofisi iya kuba kunika abasebenzi bakhe ulawulo kwindlela abaziva ngayo eofisini. “Ukuba unayo le ndawo enesidima apho basebenza khona, kwaye baya kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo kuyo, kwaye ngokusisiseko bakwenye inguqulelo apho babekho ngaphambili, ukuba’akulunganga,” uthi. “Ndicinga ukuba kudala phantse i-claustrophobia. Ukwahluka kweendawo obonelela ngazo kuvumela abantu ukuba batshintshe nawaphi na amandla angawo’yeyona inemveliso kubo kwaye eyona intsebenziswano kubo” Eyodwa kule projekthi kukuba uCrisp wayefuna uyilo lweofisi oluza kutsala abasebenzi kude nedesika zabo. “Siphumelela xa abantu besenza izinto ezintsha,” uthi, “kwaye ezinye zezona zibalaseleyo zivela xa zisebenzisana”
Enye indlela u-Arcturis wakwazi ngayo ukwenza oko kuhlukahlukana kwendawo kunye nokukhuthaza ukusebenza kunye kukusebenzisa ithiyori yemibala. Amagumbi amane eBenson Hill agqunywe ngombala owahlukileyo: iorenji etshileyo, i-indigo, eluhlaza nzulu, kunye nodongwe. Umbala ngamnye uvusa iimvakalelo ezithile kwaye abasebenzi sele beqalile ukutsalela kule mibala ngenxa yendlela ababenza bazive ngayo. UCrisp, umzekelo, uthanda ukubhukisha iintlanganiso kwigumbi lenkomfa eliorenji. “Uziva njengawe’silapha ukwenza into ebaluleke kakhulu, entsha,” uthi. I-Arcturis ikwinkqubo yokuqokelela idatha kubasebenzi ukucacisa ukuba ngawaphi amagumbi abawakhethayo imisebenzi.
Abayili bezakhiwo kunye nabayili bangaphakathi bafunda ukuba, emva kwe-COVID, uyilo lwendawo yokusebenza lunabela ngaphandle kweendonga zeofisi. UBrad Liebman, umlawuli woyilo lwangaphakathi kumzi-mveliso wobunjineli bokwakha HOK , uthi enye yezinto aziva kubathengi kukuba’s konke malunga nokuguquguquka. Kwaye ukuba inkampani ivumela abasebenzi ukuba basebenze ekhaya iintsuku ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu ngeveki, bafuna ukuhombisa amakhaya abo ngeteknoloji efanayo ekhoyo eofisini.
“Sonke sinobuchwephesha obufanelekileyo bokusinceda ngoku, kodwa ngaba yeyona ilungileyo? Ngaba yintoni na’s eofisini?” Liebman uthi. Kukwanjalo nakwifenitshala. “Baninzi abantu abahleli ezitulweni ezingakhululekanga phantse unyaka wonke” U-Liebman ucinga ukuba ezi zixhobo ziya kunceda iinkampani ukuba zitsale kwaye zigcine italente.
Kwiinkampani eziqesha abasebenzi abakude, i-Ridgeway iyabakhuthaza ukuba bacinge malunga nendlela yokubandakanya ukuqeshwa okutsha kwinkcubeko yenkampani. Iingcali ze-brand ye-Arcturis ziqulunqa iibhokisi ezinezinto ezibalulekileyo eziquka inkcubeko yenkampani kwaye zizithumele kubasebenzi abakude. “Ndicinga ukuba ubhubhane uye wagxininisa ukuba indima yethu njengeengcali zoyilo kukwenza amava obugcisa,” uthi.
Abaqeshi bakwacinga malunga namava ngaphakathi kwiofisi ebonakalayo. UJessica Waite, umphathi weprojekthi e-HOK, uthi esona sicelo sikhulu asivayo kubathengi ngumnqweno wokudala indawo exhasa inkcubeko yenkampani. Xa kunjalo’Kukhuselekile ukwenza njalo, abathengi bafuna abasebenzi babuyele eofisini, “hayi nje ukufumana abantu’imisebenzi yenziwe, kodwa ukuyikhulisa ngokwenene njengabasebenzi”
Njengomzekelo, uLiebman walatha kwi-HOK’eyakhe iofisi eSt. Louis. Igumbi elinye lineefestile ezinobude obuphindwe kabini ezijonge kwiArch, iidesika zokuma ezongezelelweyo, kunye nefenitshala yegumbi lokuphumla: “Yiyo’yindawo nje apho wonke umntu unokuhlangana khona,” uthi.
