== Offices are reopening and RGL remains positive == With pandemic restrictions lifted, the return to the office is underway. A legacy of the pandemic will likely be a permanent acceleration in some of the trends that were already in place. Most tenants are expected to adopt a hybrid model of working, at least initially, whereby employees spend perhaps three days per week (typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) in the office and two days at home. RGL does not expect hybrid working to materially reduce space requirements as it must cater for peak usage. As an alternative, hot desking is typically unpopular with staff, who value their own space and the certainty of being in proximity to close colleagues. Hot desking may stifle the collaboration and creativity required by many employers. RGL expects any reduction in the demand for space driven by changes in working practices to be offset by a reduction in office density (the number of employees per square metre), accelerating a trend that was in place before the pandemic. This is likely to apply particularly to good-quality space at affordable rents. The trend has been driven by a recognition that to retain and attract staff, in many industries it is necessary for employers to offer better facilities (including relaxation areas and space for collaborative working and informal discussion) and quality accommodation. The experience of social distancing, driven by the pandemic, is only likely to reinforce this trend.
