In 2019, as our database grew, we were provided with the unparalleled opportunity to further investigate the extent to which new workplaces succeed or fail in delivering employee experiences.

Part 2: Do new workplaces work?

This study aimed to examine why some workplace projects deliver benefits while others fall short, arming those responsible for future schemes with insights to spark deeper debate.

A workplace change project offers an immense opportunity to fuel organisational transformations, enhance employee experience and improve employee productivity. But with it widely claimed that the majority of organisational change programmes fail to achieve their stated objectives, we wanted to review whether workplace change projects are faring any better.

Key takeaways
  • Our employee workplace experience (EwX) framework identifies the six prime elements that we believe impact the overall employee workplace experience.
  • We demonstrate how activity complexity correlates with workplace experience, concluding that different activity profiles may benefit from different workplace solutions.
  • An outstanding workplace is one that supports both individual and collaborative activities. The data suggests that new workplaces generally succeed in bringing people together and supporting interaction. However, these new environments often struggle to support conversations and specific focused activities.
