The growing recognition by organisations that their people’s performance is driven by physical environments marks our profession’s greatest opportunity.

Ricoh reports

To help you understand the new way of working and how to re-engineer workplaces both virtually and physically, Ricoh has conducted exclusive research into how our evolving world of work has influenced and resulted in new workplace behaviours. 

Working with leading clinical psychologist Emma Kenny, Ricoh analysed key findings from their research to look at synergies and disconnects with a view to helping businesses better make sense of the changing workplace. Read the report here.

Reimagining your workplace 

We’re in an exciting time for business, one with excellent opportunities to evolve how we work for greater commercial success – but there will also be new challenges. 

First, there is an opportunity to support and empower your people, as your workforce becomes more flexible and productive than ever. 

Next, there is an opportunity for accelerated digital transformation, as organisations across the country transition once more to new ways of working. 

And finally, there is an opportunity to develop and build your company culture into a place where your people love to work. 

It’s up to business leaders to find the right solutions to address these concerns and provide their people with a platform to achieve their best work.  Read Ricoh's report here. 

The Economy of People 

By examining the Economy of People, Ricoh has calculated the potential impact of aligning culture, workspace and technology strategies to create the optimal office. The result is a new, holistic approach to designing workplaces that has the potential to positively reshape the United Kingdom and Ireland’s economic trajectories.  Read the report here.

The pathway to productive people: Ricoh's report explores the UK's productivity puzzle 

In what continues to be a period of economic uncertainty and instability, businesses are, more than ever, microscopically reviewing the way they work. In unison, many are facing enormous pressure to modernise and digitally transform to ensure that they remain competitive, robust and, most importantly, future-proof.  

Ricoh believes that the pathway to productivity lies in organisations implementing innovative and bespoke solutions that focus on people, workplace, process and technology. Together, these offer one cohesive and impactful workstyle footprint within any business environment – a footprint that will enhance productivity and profitability at both a micro and macro level.  

The Pathway to Productive People is an approach developed by Ricoh to help businesses with their transformation process – a guide for those taking the first steps into workstyle innovation and looking to achieve the optimal office where people, workplace, process and technology are nicely balanced. Whilst there is much to consider, and the ultimate execution may seem daunting and complex, it doesn’t have to be. All it takes is bravery, and this begins with understanding your people and the way they work. There are three guides to help you:
