How workplace design can help you to attract top talents
1. Sell your work environment
Show candidates your office space with 360 ° pictures or create video content for a good first impression. Attract them with a hybrid working culture and ergonomically equipped workplaces for that working concept. Explain your focus on an ergonomic way of working and tell them, that well-being, comfort and health of your employees have priority.
Take pictures of your fixed workplaces, shared-desks, meeting rooms, flex-workplaces, and also show home-office workplaces as well as mobile workplaces.

2. Connect your brand to social issues
Your business can’t solve major social issues (e.g., climate change, affordable healthy options or a more inclusive world) on its own, but you can connect your brand to a larger purpose. Candidates who are committed to the real-world issue your brand attempts to improve, will be more motivated to join your contribution to the cause.

3. Offer competitive benefits
After the pandemic, many larger companies that went remote aren’t planning to return (fully) to their physical offices. It is a major attraction to many candidates and employees to stay hybrid and therefor offering mobile working as well as working from home.
this is how you set up a home workplace
4. Create a positive, flexible environment
To attract and retain talents, a positive and flexible work environment is a great way for positive employer branding, similar to what Google does. The work culture of Google is founded upon trust, and employees have the liberty to work whenever they want and however they want.
For this flexible work environment to be successful, people need flex-working areas in the office, shared-desks (which are adjusted swiftly to one's individual needs) and the opportunity to work from home. Provide your people with ergonomic, mobile working, equipment, that they can use to work healthy and comfortable anywhere, anytime.

5. Listen to your employees and show them respect
The base should be a clear job description for every employee. A job description clearly states the daily responsibilities, expectations and qualifications for a role, and it helps employees better understand their position. The managers must understand what their employees need, to give them ideal learning opportunities. Asking questions is the best way to do this. And in this context the manager can suggest pro-active development plans. To schedule regular one-on-one meeting with each team member is a good way to fully understand their insights.
Employees who feel respected are more grateful for—and loyal to—their firms. It is therefore important to check on their mental and physical well-being as well. A respectful workplace brings enormous benefits to organizations. Employees who say they feel respected are more satisfied with their jobs are more resilient, cooperate more with others, perform better and more creatively, and are more likely to take direction from their leaders.
