Offices to rent in Northampton may have different functions in the future, according to one expert.
Matt Oakley, chairman of the British Council for Offices research committee, claimed a new generation of people will be "flexible and multi-locational workers" who might "come into the office for face-to-face contact".
Managers may have also noticed the "increasing importance of amenities and facilities" or a wider concern about green issues, he noted.
Workplaces are now often considered part of a strategy for attracting and keeping particularly good individuals in a firm's workforce, Mr Oakley continued.
There will also be a rise in the number of employers ensuring people can work productively from a variety of locations, the expert predicted.
"We feel there is going to be more flexible working in the future," Mr Oakley concluded.
His comments echo those of Ben Willmott, senior public policy advisor at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, who argued that more companies are offering this kind of employment to their staff.
