Since offices will increasingly become social meeting places to collaborate, connect and interact with teams, companies will have to re-think and re-plan the Workplace Strategy. The Workplace Expert tool recommends different office environments and configurations based on responses to questions about a business’ goals, working patterns, and drivers behind their brand and operating culture. Workplace Expert is fueled by extensive benchmarking data, insights from Colliers’ global surveys during the Covid-19 pandemic and emerging market trends.

“Now, more than ever, the office is being acknowledged not just as a pure cost asset, but as a space with a vital role in connecting and empowering organization’s people to operate at their best in the next evolution of workplace experiences. This is why creating the right core work environment that is responsive to current challenges and future needs will be crucial for attracting and retaining talent, as well as enabling employees to perform and collaborate”, says Sebastian Dragomir, Partner and Head of Office 360° at Colliers.

Office 360° takes the Workplace Expert’s office transformation ideas a step further. Colliers’s Office 360° team can define the optimal environment for the health and productivity of employees, and rebalance the office mix, whether through a reconfiguration or relocation.

The team will also find solutions and define the most efficient strategy in terms of location, cost scenario, and lease agreement flexibility, bringing experience in project and cost management, change management, logistics, building technology, and interior architecture, ensuring that time and quality requirements are met. The team works to reduce operational costs but also to improve a building’s reputation and sustainability through property management services and LEED, BREEAM, and WELL certifications.
