Awfis Leadership Series – The Transforming Work Landscape in 2020

  • Magic bricks

Below are the 10 key takeaways from the discussion for your quick reference:

1. 3 months into the pandemic, organizations have transformed work policies, both for a temporary and permanent change.

2. Occupiers are looking at reducing costs, flexibility in lock in periods, extension on lease etc.

3. Health and wellness of both employees and customers continue to be top priority

4. De–densification is not required currently as organizations are working with only 10% of their total workforce. The need for sustainable green projects and newer building designs will increase.

5. 5-25% of workforce will continue to be working from home, once the current situation normalizes. Coworking sector to benefit as many occupiers are demanding for greater flexibility and reduced capex spending.

6. Workspaces to focus on employee privacy and separation. Right now globally the workforce is in resiliency mode, and will continue be in this mode for some time.

7. In the next 3-4 months, businesses to come up with newer business models to suit the working requirements. In the long run a mandate for all businesses – to build work from home capabilities.

8. Offices will continue to be important centres for collaboration/interaction with colleagues. Focus to be on touch free technologies at workspaces for the health and safety of the occupiers.

9. One size does not fit all. The need of the hour is Hybrid working models and integrated workspace ecosystem.

10. Employees are reluctant to return to offices, Thus there is a need to create work near home models for residential hubs especially in business districts.
