In our 4th annual survey, we engaged over 100 organizations to understand the evolving landscape of hybrid work and its implications on recruitment, workplace strategies, and real estate decisions. The findings underscore a continued shift towards flexibility, sustainability, and strategic space utilization.
Despite a minority of organizations advocating for a full return to the office, remote work allowances continue to increase, averaging 2.6 days per week. This trend reflects a sustained commitment to flexibility and employee autonomy in what remains a tense employment market.
Return-to-office rates have stabilized at 40% for over a year, indicating a new equilibrium in workplace attendance. However, actual attendance often falls short of the required presence across various sectors, highlighting the need for adaptable workplace strategies.
As a result, our projections indicate that 120 million square meters of office space will be added to the current vacancy in Europe by 2030. This anticipated increase necessitates proactive measures in space optimization and innovative real estate solutions.
Our newly introduced Workplace Rigidity Index enables companies to assess the flexibility of their real estate and location strategies. Embracing flexibility is increasingly recognized as vital for attracting and retaining top talent.
ESG considerations have become central to corporate strategies. Occupiers are focusing on creating sustainable workplaces, including the development of active mobility infrastructure, to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental responsibility.
