THE X FACTOR

Implementing your X Factor

We have identified several overarching needle-movers to create an ideal workplace experience, noting an exponential shift in pre-Covid conditions that are critical for any modern workplace program.

Our 2020-2021 Avison Young survey revealed that:

0%

Survey respondents felt productive when working at a quiet, private space where they can focus

0%

Survey respondents felt productive when working in a collaborative space where they can work with their colleagues

0%

Survey respondents felt productive when working in a comfortable and flexible informal place where they can sit and work (unassigned and/or reservable workstation, soft seating areas)

0%

Survey respondents felt productive when working at a dedicated, assigned desk or private office

Survey respondents also outlined which activities they would prefer to participate in in-person at the office rather than at home or at a different virtual location:

Team building

0%

Corporate social events

0%

Work requiring special or technical equipment

0%

Training and development

0%

Formal department and/or team meetings

0%

In a 2021 global survey of some 200,000 employees conducted by Leesman, only 15% of respondents advised they would return to the office fulltime, five days a week. 85% of employees want some kind of hybrid work experience where they would attend the office anywhere from 2-4 days per week. Yet a further dive into the analytics indicates that employees who worked in a high-performance workplace wanted to return to work more often. Employees who were returning to high-performance workplaces confirmed that they would return more frequently:

0%

1 to 2 days

0%

2 to 3 days

0%

4 to 5 days

This analysis confirms what we’ve long-observed through our own experience partnering with clients: better-designed offices centered on facilitating collaboration deliver more opportunities to attract and retain talent.
