The Return to Office Executive Order is Overcrowding Workplaces—Here’s How to Fix It

The workplace is evolving—again. With the return to work executive order now in effect, federal agencies and commercial offices are suddenly facing a new challenge: overcrowding. Spaces are now filled beyond capacity, lack available workstations, are full of noise distractions and are impacting employee productivity.

At Workplace Solutions, we’re passionate about design, obsessed with service, and experts in furniture. Our mission is clear: to design workspaces that enhance efficiency, boost productivity, and positively impact employee well-being and business success.

We understand that businesses, whether in the federal, commercial, or public sector, all have unique needs. And in this moment of transition, they need solutions fast.

The Challenge: Workspaces That No Longer Work

As employees return to the office, organizations are feeling the strain:

✔ More employees than available desks – Spaces once optimized for hybrid work now need a fresh approach

 ✔ Rising noise levels – Open offices are louder, making focused work and virtual meetings a challenge 

✔ A decline in productivity – Employees struggle to concentrate, impacting efficiency and morale

While initiatives like the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, focused on reducing federal spending, organizations need practical, cost-effective solutions that deliver immediate impact without unnecessary costs.

Our Expertise: Thoughtful, Fast, and Effective Solutions

At Workplace Solutions, we combine our passion for design with practical solutions to help organizations adapt quickly and successfully. Right now, our clients are turning to us for:

✔  Tailored Office Reconfiguration – Making better use of space and current furniture solutions to support focused work and collaboration
