The Colliers Workplace Advisory team is at the forefront of workplace change, working in the field with many organisations to transform offices based on the experiences gathered, and opportunities afforded, from COVID-19. We see that our clients have different approaches for developing post-COVID workplace strategies, and are transforming at different speeds.
In this report, we provide a snapshot of how organisations are developing their plans and share common themes for workplace transformations. We examine:
- What are the key drivers and goals for workplace change?
- What is the balance organisations strike between working from the office and working remotely?
- What are the approaches that organisations take to develop the future workplace?
- Emerging themes in workplace transformations: how is the office transforming?
According to Annick Vandenbulcke, Head of Occupier Advisory and Managing Director of Colliers Belgium, “The findings of this study are very much in line with what is happening in our Belgian companies. Most organisations assume that working from home is here to stay and realise that it will have an impact on their future working environment and real estate. We help them to make this a reality.”
“However, the first, and often forgotten starting point, should always be to ask the right questions at the right time. In this context, Colliers has developed a 360° analysis that helps the organisation to define which questions are the most relevant according to its identity and strategy.”, further specifies Stefan Olefs, Director Workplace Strategy & Change Management at Colliers Belgium.
