Events
Overview: In January 2021, we heard research around how the pandemic-induced work-from-home experiment had altered perspectives on work, flexibility and the office. We are circling back with experts to present new findings on this topic. Join this session and learn from recent research around office demand, hybrid work and occupiers’ workplace strategies. Bring your questions and join this lively conversation.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn why office space demand is accelerating.
- Understand what’s driving the new purpose of office space.
