The return-to-office debate continues. Over 90% of CEOs (*1) want employees back, yet less than 50%(*2) are willing to return, citing loss of freedom, long commutes, and uninspiring offices.
Our Workplace Retreat solution tackles these concerns head-on. We design flexible, employee-centered office spaces with a next-level aesthetic, to attract and retain top talent, foster innovation, and enhance workforce well-being.
Every workplace consists of diverse personality types, and our employee-centered Workplace Retreat design solution ensures everyone is catered for:
We’re passionate about understanding and designing for The Big Five Personality Traits—Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism—and creating workspaces that cater to them all.
We prioritize flexible office solutions for return-to-work, allowing employees to seamlessly transition between remote and in-office work. From hot-desking to adaptable meeting spaces, our designs encourage teamwork while giving employees the autonomy to work the way they like.
Employee satisfaction drives productivity. Our Workplace Retreat design solution prioritizes elements that enhance focus, comfort, and engagement—creating a workplace employees want to return to.
We design office spaces for hybrid work models that adapt to evolving work patterns. A well-designed workspace isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a key factor in employee retention. In fact, a recent work trends report (*3) found that 41% of the global workforce was considering a job switch, with 55% citing their work environment as a deciding factor.
From the first consultation to final execution, we handle every step of your return-to-work office transition—ensuring a seamless process aligned with your business goals. Plus, our unique design and budget methodology gets you into your new space up to 30% faster than traditional office fit-outs.
In simple terms, our Workplace Retreat design concept creates commute-worthy offices that promote team bonding, creativity, and comfort. By integrating areas for collaboration, relaxation, and re-engagement, our solutions foster a culture of connection and innovation—vital for your team’s mental health and long-term productivity.

With hybrid work now the norm, we design workspaces that seamlessly integrate remote and in-office work. From flexible workstations to collaboration zones and on-demand meeting spaces, we create environments that support mobility and ensure a smooth transition between work modes for both employers and employees.
We design with wellness in mind—because a healthy, safe workplace benefits everyone. From better air circulation and biophilic design to ergonomic furniture and natural light, our spaces are designed to boost mental and physical well-being. By reducing stress and enhancing comfort, the transition back to the office becomes smoother for everyone.
Seamless tech integration is key to return-to-work office planning, and building a strong work culture. We can incorporate touchless systems, advanced video conferencing, and smart collaboration tools to streamline workflows and support both in-office and remote teams—ensuring a smoother, more connected return to work for your employees.
At RI Workplace, we believe office design should do more than just accommodate employees—it should inspire them. Whether your company is embracing a hybrid model or a fully in-office approach, our return-to-work solutions create workspaces that enhance flexibility, productivity, and satisfaction.
Return-to-work office solutions are design strategies that help companies bring employees back to the office by creating a work environment that feel more engaging, flexible, and worth the commute. These solutions improve comfort, collaboration, wellbeing, and workplace experience. At RI Workplace, this includes our Workplace Retreat concept – a space designed to attract and retain talent by meeting the needs of all personality types.
RI Workplace improves employee willingness to return by designing spaces that are more comfortable, inspiring, and user-friendly than working from home. We incorporate collaboration hubs, quiet focus zones, wellness areas, and tech-enabled workstations that align with modern expectations. Our Workplace Retreat solution makes the office feel like a destination, not an obligation.
The Workplace Retreat design concept creates commute-worthy work environments that blend collaboration, comfort, and wellbeing. It includes social spaces, relaxation zones, tech-ready areas, and creative environments tailored to different personality types. This approach helps teams reconnect, innovate, and feel more energized at work.
Personality types influence return-to-work design by helping identify the right mix of spaces needed for different working styles. Extroverts thrive in social areas, introverts need quiet focus zones, creative employees benefit from idea-driven spaces, and detail-oriented individuals require structured workstations. RI Workplace designs with The Big Five Personality Traits in mind to ensure every personality type feels supported.
Features that help employees transition back include flexible seating, hybrid-ready workstations, private phone booths, wellness elements like natural light and greenery, and high-performing collaboration areas. These elements make the office more comfortable, reduce stress, and create a positive experience that encourages consistent in-office engagement.
Technology supports return-to-work strategies by making the office more efficient, connected, and adaptable. Tools like touchless systems, smart collaboration areas, hybrid meeting setups, and advanced video conferencing create seamless interaction between in-office and remote teams. RI Workplace integrates these systems directly into the design to support productivity and communication.
Companies are redesigning their offices instead of forcing employees back because a better environment leads to higher retention, stronger collaboration, and improved employee wellbeing. Modern workers expect comfort, autonomy, and purpose-built spaces, so attractive, flexible design is more effective than strict mandates. A redesigned workplace also strengthens team culture and helps recruit top talent.
