We see the current climate as ‘yoyoing’ between working in the office and remotely, all dependent on something largely out of our control. So how can businesses build the necessary resilience to overcome these challenges and come out the other side stronger and more successful?
Amid a resurgence in Covid 19 induced uncertainty and growing desire from employees to adopt hybrid work styles the demand for flexible workspaces is rising faster than ever. This combined with an overall decrease in office footprint required by occupiers is driving further appeal for leasing solutions that provide for flexibility and a lower capital outlay from tenants. In short, the occupiers are now demanding more from commercial landlords and shifting a greater portion of risk towards property owners. In this changed landscape we ask: how can commercial space providers adapt to this new market norm?
In the aftermath of the Covid pandemic the desire to work flexibly is gaining more and more momentum as employees have realized they can do their work just as efficiently if not more without being tied to a strict 9 to 5 schedule. As this revolution unfolds challenges are starting to emerge for leaders around how to effectively implement flexible working framework. We ask ourselves, what is the role of the office in this new work pattern landscape and what opportunities does this wave of change presents?
With remote working now the norm for many workers, employers are facing the challenge of how to encourage their employees to return to the office space that they still own or lease. But when everyone has a desk at home, how do you convince people to make the commute?
As people begin returning and spending more time in the office, employers have to make sure that the physical workspace keeps everyone engaged and productive. They not only need to create a company culture that is safe and supportive but one that also aligns with the company’s purpose and values.
