![]() Our ideal is to have everyone back three days a week. ![]() We just opened a new London office a few months ago and there’s another big opening in Miami soon - so for us, the office is definitely a big part of the work, and how that collaboration goes. So, we want to offer flexibility, but at the same time, we have built these nice offices and we want people to come and work from there, because there is no point in investing in real estate if people don't come and work in it. In our last poll, 60% of employees said they want to work from the office three days, some four days, but fewer than 10% of our people want to still be 100% remote. While not mandating 100% return to work, both brands do want their teams back in their physical spaces at least some of the time. The representatives commenting on the use of the collaboration platform were Bolt’s Head of Head Of Internal Communication, Mathis Bogens, and Team Leader, Johnny Clarke. It is sending at least 150,000 Slack messages per day, as a result. Both are heavy users of Slack, with Bolt claiming almost no emails are generated inside the company apart from for specific external clients who are not on the system. These were Estonia-headquartered Bolt, a provider of ride-hailing, car sharing, and food delivery, which claims 100 million-plus customers in 45 countries, and - headquartered in Tel Aviv and provides low code/no code-based ‘Work OS’ to companies globally. Two global Slack users shared their experiences of using the company’s self-styled ‘digital HQ’ this week in the wake of the Salesforce subsidiary’s new research on UK knowledge worker’s current experience of back to office. That seems to be at least one way to understand how commercial users of the Slack workplace collaboration system are trying to make hybrid/return to office work for both them and their employees. The twist: this time, they are trying hard to create equally fun but also productive parallel digital spaces. Now, today’s digital-born companies seem to be trying to refresh the fun - offering more social and out of hours activities to regularly tempt people back to the real estate they’ve expensively invested in. A generation ago, dot coms tried to attract Gen X-ers into their new offices with foosball tables, lunchtime yoga and Beer Fridays.
