The modern workspace is undergoing a significant evolution. Companies are rethinking and reimagining their offices to align with new priorities - from flexibility and collaboration to sustainability and employee wellness. https://hubs.ly/Q02ctlTQ0

Over half of workers feel mandated office returns are a "waste of time"… Unproductive office spaces, lack of in-person colleagues, and tech issues as major pain points. As the hybrid work model evolves, there's a growing need for meaningful reasons beyond mandates to bring people on-site. Organisations must enhance the office experience, ensuring the right resources are available to boost productivity and satisfaction. They must build the bridge to close the disconnect between company policy and what truly enables their people to work smart. What are your thoughts?… #workplaceexperience #workplace #hybridwork

Does your workplace have hybrid workers? What’s your most important quality when it comes to working at the office? For SIF, being comfortable at work is very important along with bringing nature indoors like plants, plants and more plants.

While leading companies in tech remain spread across the spectrum of workplace strategies and attendance policies, there is a definite shift toward in-office attendance and hybrid strategies with 79% of tech companies encouraging employees to be in the office at least part-time. It’s not just leadership that wants their teams back together. Nearly half of remote workers say they miss the connection that comes with in-office collaboration and workplace culture. Productivity, though challenging to measure, can surge in human-rich environments – especially with the right balance of “we” space and “me” space. #CRE #CorporateRealEstate #RealEstate #OfficeSpace #HybridWork #Technology #Culture #Creativity #Productivity #Collaboration #Tenant #Leasing #Strategy #Advisor #Business #Workplace #JLL https://lnkd.in/d9iTVxzJ

When given a choice, employees come into the office to meet people. In our latest research report, The State of Tech Industry Workplaces, produced in collaboration with workplace analytics leader Density, we found that employees who get to choose where they work spend almost double their amount of time in meeting rooms when they’re in the office compared to those who have a three day per week policy. Policies influence more than just how much time people spend in an office — they also influence the activities they do there. Ideally, workplace policies and design should be in harmony. However, as our study shows, workplaces are still struggling to catch up to the reimagining of where and how work gets done.   🔗 Discover our key findings and download the report here: https://lnkd.in/g2n6ZCrA #StateOfTechIndustry #WorkplaceResearch #TechWorkplaces #WorkplaceInnovation #ReturnToWork #OfficeUse #WorkspaceDesign #TechIndustryInsights #Hassell #DensityAnalytics Daniel Davis Annie Cosgrove

Less of a productive hum, more of a cacophony, 🐝🥁 🥁 that’s facing many office workers this September.  Hardly conducive for productive work. With many banks mandating at least three days in the office, it looks like the balance is subtly tilting in favour of more time in the workplace.  That’s all well and good but too many offices are not acoustically well designed, and often affect concentration and overall staff wellbeing. This is impacting businesses bottom lines.  Our recent study covered succinctly by @adewunmiadedeyo in International Business Times https://lnkd.in/eDBZrH4K finds that due to office din over half of workers can’t concentrate and more than a third are delivering poor quality work.  While bosses are somewhat aware of the issues (over half of staff have made one noise complaint), just one in seven think that noise levels impact on productivity.  Far less than what their people say. To find out how to design workspaces which have just the right level of buzz, we’ve a new white paper https://lnkd.in/eHEq8g9t – perhaps we’ve solved part of the productivity puzzle?

The Hassell 2023 global workplace survey, Great Adaptations showed that you can increase workplace satisfaction by 17% if you just make some changes to your workplace, and that the most common adaptation to a workplace this year is the addition of tech and meeting rooms to support hybrid working. Great to see our own findings being echoed in the Financial Times - it's definitely time to start adapting and redesigning workplaces to meet the needs of our time and make people WANT to WFW becuase it's better than many alternatives! #carrotsnotsticks #futureofwork #futureofworkplace #placespeoplelove
