Frequently asked questions about workplace recovery
How do I know which workplace recovery solution is right for my business?
How do I know which workplace recovery solution is right for my business?
Most organisations benefit from a blended approach. Think about which teams need immediate access, which can wait, and how long you may need the space. Spaces offers three tailored options:
-
Dynamic Recovery: Fully equipped office access within one business day. Ideal for core teams — typically around 20% of your workforce.
-
Reserve Recovery: Always-on workspace for your most critical roles — executives, security, compliance, or operations.
-
Rapid Recovery: On-demand access for any employee when disruption hits. Great for supporting flexibility at scale.
Combining plans gives you the agility to support different needs — without overcommitting.

Isn’t business interruption insurance enough?
Isn’t business interruption insurance enough?
Insurance helps recover costs—but not operations. It won’t:
- Get your teams back to work
- Maintain service levels for customers
- Safeguard your brand reputation
A workplace recovery plan restores function, not just finances.
What makes a strong disaster recovery plan?
What makes a strong disaster recovery plan?
Great plans are layered and practical. They usually include:
- Dedicated workspaces for critical teams
- Secure areas for sensitive or regulated roles
- Remote access for non-essential staff
- Flexible workspace options for collaboration and continuity
It’s about restoring productivity for every role, quickly and confidently.
Which employee needs should I consider in my recovery planning?
Which employee needs should I consider in my recovery planning?
Your people are your continuity plan. Understanding what they need to stay productive during disruption is key. Consider:
- Family and caregiving responsibilities — can they travel or do they need local support?
- Collaboration preferences — do they work best in person, hybrid, or autonomously?
- Access to peer networks and leadership visibility during times of uncertainty
- Reliable tech infrastructure, especially for those with specialist tasks or client contact
- Physical wellbeing and safety — are they in a comfortable, secure working environment?
Plans that reflect these factors keep teams engaged, supported, and able to perform—no matter the situation.
How do I choose the right alternative workspace location?
How do I choose the right alternative workspace location?
Not all workspace is equal when it comes to business continuity. The right recovery location should be:
- Easily accessible via public transport or with available parking
- Far enough from your headquarters to avoid shared disruption risks
- Close to where your people live, making it practical for daily access
- Flexible for different durations—whether it’s a few days or a few weeks
- Fitted with essential infrastructure, like secure networks, reception support, and collaborative spaces
At Spaces, we help you match the right plan to the right locations across our global network.
Why can’t we just ask everyone to work from home?
Why can’t we just ask everyone to work from home?
Remote work plays an important role in many continuity strategies — but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. In many cases, it should be part of a layered plan, not the fallback.
Here’s why relying solely on home working can be risky:
- Not all employees have secure or stable internet connections
- Confidentiality is harder to manage in shared or family living environments
- Remote setups can affect performance, especially in roles requiring client contact or specialist tools
- Extended isolation impacts morale, mental health, and teamwork
A resilient recovery approach blends home working with access to secure, fully serviced workspaces — so your teams have what they need, wherever they’re working from.
