Are you future-ready? Will your organisation and its spaces sufficiently support your workforce?

Do you see COVID-19 as body-blow to real estate, or a rapid accelerant of trends already underway? Either way, it’s time to respond. It’s time to act.

As business leaders rush to reappraise the role of workplace in their organisations, research from the world’s largest employee workplace experience benchmark shows how a series of simple tests can determine just how primed an organisation is for its post-pandemic workplace future.

The answers to these questions shortcut leaders to where focus is most needed, where the greatest opportunities exist, and where weaknesses in legacy systems threaten to destabilise any sense of a new normality being better than before.

The answers to these questions set the future-ready apart from the rest.

Key takeaways
  • Waiting is not an option; the future is already unfolding, and organisations must act promptly in response to the changing landscape of the post-pandemic workplace.
  • To attain future readiness, organisations need to consider three crucial elements: people, involving a focus on employee purpose and the prioritisation of individual and organisational goals; Place, where functionality takes precedence over workplace aesthetics; and Time, with organisations needing to adapt to emerging workstyles that were gained from remote working during the pandemic.
  • By drawing on the extensive employee experience database, organisations can gain a nuanced understanding of various workplace aspects and how to maximise their efficiency and effectiveness.
