What to expect when you're back in the office: 7 real-estate experts break down what the transition will look like, and why the workplace may never be the same

Companies and landlords have to make offices safe for the return to work, which means rethinking everything from spacing desks to ramping up cleaning.Office buildings are sitting empty across much of the world, as professionals work remotely to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The return to the office will likely be marked by two waves: before a vaccine, and after a vaccine.

However, when workers come back, they won't be coming back to the same offices as before. Employers and landlords have spent the time away from the offices creating plans and protocols that bring social distancing to the office, with the hope of minimizing the spread of the virus. The first return will be slow, methodical, and may feel anticlimactic. Workers will return in shifts, and offices will feel emptier than before. Some open-plan offices may even see the return of private offices, or at least cubicles separated by plastic guards that protect against the virus's spread. Some workers may work from home indefinitely.

"Instead of leading with a solution, our recommendation is that we are led to the solution," Sundar Nagarajan, head of consulting at JLL, said in a webinar about the future of the office. Companies and landlords are preparing for shelter-in-place orders to lift, and for workers to return. "It's impossible to run a completely risk-free work environment," Lenny Beaudoin, executive managing director of space enablement services at CBRE told Business Insider. However, companies should be doing what they can to reduce risk.

Companies and landlords both will also have to consider larger improvements to spaces such as improved ventilation.
