People-centric workspaces trigger office returns

Despite the fact that Poland-based organisations are testing their workspace options carefully now, the demand for downtown office assets is strong following a return to work campaign and the vaccination programme roll-out. Lockdowns demonstrated that the home office is not a universal solution for every profession or person – people need spaces to focus on work, interact with colleagues, learn from each other, and collaborate in a user-friendly environment.

HB Reavis research conducted among five hundred leaders across Europe identified four major trends affecting the future of the workplace. Firstly, hybrid work will become the norm: both employers and employees expect to adopt a mix of work at home and in the office. Secondly, flexibility will be key to success and result in even more agile setups: corporate agility will extend to office leasing, and drive even greater efficiencies through technology. Thirdly, technology will play a greater role in boosting employee performance: data will power the new digital experience. And last but not least, health and well-being will be of paramount importance: employee well-being will be at the heart of the modern work experience, and how employers are judged in future.
