A ‘retreat’ is a place of calm. A sanctuary for re-energizing. A destination of joy. The ultimate in wellbeing. A space where bonds are formed, where our best selves and ideas come together effortlessly. A place you want to return to again and again. Welcome to the concept behind RI’s Workplace Retreat. A fresh, new and unique workplace design solution that creates a desirable destination for employees of different age groups, lifestyles and personalities. A place of productivity and positivity that yields great results for employers.
A Workplace Retreat brings into play all the elements that make an office pleasurable and productive to work in, tapping into the new world of ‘resi-mercial’ offices. It’s a space that provides flexible, multi-layered, multi-sensory areas that satisfy the needs and wants of all staff.
Employers across all industries are facing some of the most difficult challenges in their careers – top pain points including talent attraction, retention and performance, economic headwinds and shrinking budgets.
Research shows around 90% of employers want their teams back in the office to drive better results, but less than 50% of employees want to return.
A Workplace Retreat is an office design concept that creates a calm, energizing, and highly engaging workspace employees want to return to. It blends comfort, flexibility, and modern workplace strategy to support wellbeing, creativity, and productivity. RI Workplace designs these environments to feel like destinations – spaces that motivate people to come to the office because they enjoy the experience and it’s something they can’t experience at home.
A Workplace Retreat improves retention and productivity by creating a work environment that supports different personality types, working styles and needs. When employees feel comfortable, connected, and inspired by their surroundings, they collaborate more effectively and produce high-quality work. This design approach also helps reduce stress, spark creativity, and strengthen company culture.
A Workplace Retreat includes flexible, multi-sensory spaces such as collaboration zones, quiet focus areas, soft-seating lounges, tech-enabled workstations, and wellness-inspired environments. These spaces are designed to support a wide range of activities – from deep work to team brainstorming – ensuring every employee has the right place to thrive throughout the day.
A Workplace Retreat differs from a traditional office because it prioritizes wellbeing, comfort, personality needs, and modern work behaviors rather than rigid desk layouts. Traditional offices are often uniform and task-focused, while a Workplace Retreat offers a variety of spaces, hybrid-ready design, and a “resi-mercial” feel that makes the office as comfortable as home but far more collaborative and inspiring.
Companies invest in Workplace Retreat designs to attract and retain top talent, strengthen culture, and solve return-to-office challenges. As many employees resist coming back to uninspiring workplaces, a retreat-style office provides the energy, comfort, and flexibility today’s workforce expects. This investment boosts morale, improves performance, and enhances the company’s reputation as an employer of choice.
All employee types benefit from a Workplace Retreat because it intentionally supports extroverts, introverts, creatives, detail-oriented workers, hybrid teams, and onsite staff. By designing with personality traits and workstyles in mind, RI Workplace ensures every employee has the right spaces to feel comfortable, motivated, and fully engaged.
RI Workplace creates a Workplace Retreat through a detailed process that includes workplace analysis, employee insights, personality mapping, hybrid-work planning, and layered design concepts. This ensures the final space reflects your culture, supports modern workflows, and brings out the best in every individual and team.
