I have worked out at lunch without a shower for years. I'm a guy, and never had a problem. (Meaning my method should work for men, but not sure with women!)
People really, really overthink the need for the shower. Just take a shower in the morning, then do you workout at lunch, and then have a good cooldown period where you can stop sweating after it, and then just use a normal towel to wipe down the rest of the sweat. Go to a normal bathroom and just wash your face, head, and neck. Towel off again, change. If you want to go the extra mile, use deodorant that you like before and/or after. f you don't have immediate access to a bathroom after the run, just cooldown outdoors, change (somehow, ?car), and use the bathroom to wash off later, there is no rush.
Seriously, it's not a problem at all. I work in a 'professional dress' place where a tie would be appropriate and casual clothes are never appropriate, as well.
Forget all those wipes, parking lot showers, and fancy solutions. It's literally AM shower, towel, wash face-neck, change. I
The most helpful thing to have is a location where you can change. Obviously any bathroom will work, but it's more pleasant when you have a lockable office so you're not dealing with putting clothes on questionably clean surfaces.
I even bike commute 1-2x/week (full sweat), still have no problems with this despite commute-lunch run-commute. And my workout for today's luncn will be 5 x 5' as hard as possible (near-VO2max) alternating 3x' off, total 1 hr running, in close to 90F heat when the sun is factored in. It's gonna be a sweatfast.
