Globalisation, the capacity to adapt to change and new workplace habits and trends mean that it is essential to define strategies aimed at creating professional surroundings that foster and enable the inclusion of new working methods that are flexible and agile in the face of change.
In Cushman & Wakefield we know that businesses are nowadays facing the challenge of adapting to permanent, ongoing change. Technology, remote working, globalisation, intergenerational changes and flexibility are having a drastic impact on our ways of working and workplace experiences. Change is continual and flexible workplaces that can be easily adapted to new business processes will prove the most successful.
A Workplace Stategy process enables companies to define a bespoke strategy, the aim of which is to create a physical and virtual workplace that is in line with the goals of the business, people’s needs and the corporate culture. These are essential for decision-making concerning future corporate spaces in terms of location, sizing and types of spaces.
With the right strategy, we can respond to questions regarding the floorspace to let, the types of spaces that should be established in the new offices, the optimum balance between in-person and remote working, how these changes will affect employees and how to manage this, as well as the main differences between a company’s way of working and the trends in its sector.
Cushman & Wakefield has one of the strongest Workplace Strategy divisions worldwide, enabling us to provide know-how, data and visibility regarding the most innovative trends through contact with our professionals across the countries in which we operate and to offer this knowledge to our clients.
