Wall Street, New York City - a famously crowded location buzzing with energy and life - is almost deserted.

The pandemic has changed the face of the city dramatically.

Offices have closed down, and office workers have been forced to work from home.

Luc Kamperman is the only one of Veldhoen+'s 8 staff in New York who has gone back to the office, but just once a week.

He realises this is the future and that offices will feel different.

He is also aware of the impact this will have on other businesses.

Tech companies like Google may have taken on more office space during the pandemic.

However, companies are advised to expand the functions offices provide.

They need to be redesigned so they are more than places to call and email.

Offices need to be creative spaces where colleagues can meet up in real life for support, motivation and fun.

Working from home is popular with many.

However, certain sections of the workforce are keen to return to the office.

One expert on this subject is Bhushan Sethi.

He has studied how homeworking affects employees and who prefers being there in person.
