Back-to-Office Trends: Why SA Companies Are Redesigning Workspaces in 2025
South Africa’s 2025 return-to-office shift is driving a move away from open-plan layouts toward ergonomic, adaptive workspaces that enhance productivity and well-being. With 43% of professionals working hybrid, companies are investing in Activity-Based Working (ABW), ergonomic furniture, and biophilic design to boost efficiency, reduce absenteeism, and improve job satisfaction. Studies show ergonomic setups increase productivity by 17-25%, reduce musculoskeletal pain, and save businesses R4 for every R1 spent on upgrades. As companies future-proof their offices, those that ignore this shift risk falling behind.
