In this week’s episode of CRE – The Unspoken Truth, Craig and I take a deep dive into how the market views office space today. Since 2020, the perspective of working in the office has changed dramatically, along with the expectations employees have for flexibility and accommodations.
Here’s how we’ve seen companies shift their perspective on office space today:
- With most office searches for big companies, HR is becoming more involved in the process. Office space is now a selling point for companies to attract top talent.
- The appeal of class A buildings with competitive amenities is growing.
- Aromatherapy scents for employee well-being? That was definitely new to me.
We are still seeing lasting ramifications from COVID on tenants’ office space searches, and the war for talent shows no signs of slowing down. What are some creative strategies you’ve seen companies use to attract talent through their office space? Anything more unusual than adding aromatherapy to the workplace?
