How To Make Vibrant Workspaces With Your Local London Authority
2021-01-28
In 2020 COVID restrictions brought a change in commuter behaviour.
We saw the rise of ‘neighbourhood workspaces’ in London as people adapted to ‘work from home.’
Soon ‘work from home’ became a quest to ‘work near home’ and it looks like this is ‘the next normal.’
Research projects like Boot The Commute show how we average 251 hours a year on commuting.
For once, our whole nation changed where they do their work and got an entire year to reflect on it – 10 years of behaviour change condensed into a year, businesses recognising that remote work can work.
Pre covid 15% of people worked remote, currently that now sits at around 60% even after lockdown – Pandora’s box is now open on work-life balance …
Do we seriously think we will go back to the inbound journeys at 7.30 am and 5.30 on packed trains and buses and tubes, paying handsomely to stand in overcrowded transport and essentially waste up to 3 hrs a day journeying?

Whatever the outcomes – the future won’t be like it was, a hybrid approach of working will come into play and going to the office even for a couple of days a week won’t be a chore it will be seen as a benefit. More info here.

technologywithin Webinar: Is grey space/tenant supply a flexible workspace opportunity?
2021-03-25
The pandemic has created a rise in previously let commercial office space returning to the market, known as grey space, or tenant supply. This is the result of organisations reviewing their property footprint. Large city-based head offices are being replaced by the hub and spoke model. Currently around 30% of London office space to let is grey space.
This is not a new trend, with increases of tenant supply also occurring after the 2001/2 stock market crash and the 2008 recession.
But what happens to the resulting real estate? Tenants who no longer need their leased space can re-market it directly and sub-let. For potential tenants it’s often cheaper than full rent, a shorter time commitment and may come semi fitted out.
With the UK the leading market in the world for flexible workspace, is the natural answer to convert grey space to flex? Is it commercially viable and is it worth the original tenants investing in converting the space to successfully sublet? MORE INFO HERE

Future of Digital Workplace Webinar
2021-03-30
About The Future Of Digital Workplace Webinar

The Future of Digital Workplace addresses the key challenges and opportunities located at the root of remote working across industries in affiliation with visionary speakers and thought leaders from the fields of Business, Services, Innovation, Technology, and IT. Invaluable discussions, keynotes, case studies, and panels where innovation will meet next-gen technology to encourage the digital workplace culture in your organization in this 2-day networking event.
Increase in Productivity
Organizations have built digital tools to promote and exercise a work culture where the shift from the physical office to the place of work has made employees’ work environment more flexible. As per the research, there has been a 67 percent increase in productivity, an increase in employee engagement by 53 percent, and a 43 percent revenue increase through the digital workplace.
Immersing Experience of Digital Technology
Not only the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) but augmented and virtual reality will also come into play in the digital workplace, to meet the latest technological trends and employee expectations. Through this, a single interface where all the data and applications are stored could be better accessed across the organization by the employees, and the use of chatbots may aid in streamlining the interactions among employees.
Engagement of Employees
No matter how latest or expedient the tools and technologies may be, if employees cannot align or make effective use of the tools it’s ultimately fruitless. Therefore, introducing tools in alignment with the employee’s needs to better streamline the process and maintain work-life balance will prove to be more productive in navigating to success during the pandemic.

Coworking Symposium 2021
2021-04-15

While the last symposium had two modules – a scholarly and industry model – the new edition will focus solely on recent studies and findings that are relevant to the field of coworking and flexible office research.

Workplace Trends Research Summit 2021
2021-04-22
The Workplace Trends Research Summit returns this Spring on 22 April 2021. The event showcases the best and latest research into work and the workplace and how it can be applied for practical benefit. This is an annual event, and in 2021 more than ever, the findings of such research will be of paramount importance in strategic planning for the workplace.

About
Each year the event attracts around 200 delegates from the workplace community – workplace consultants, occupiers, designers, architects, researchers and suppliers.
Speaking sessions are filled with the highest-ranked submissions from a call for abstracts (open now) of published research that will be blind peer-reviewed by our review team: Nigel Oseland (Workplace Unlimited) and Fiona Duggan (FiD).
The Summit will take place online on our Hopin platform, which best simulates both the presentation and social side of conferences as we used to know them. If regulations and safety allow, nearer the time, we will look to add a physical element in London for those who wish to attend in person.

Future Offices Spring 2021
2021-04-27 - 2021-04-28
WORKPLACE TRANSFORMATION
SPACE FUNCTIONALITY
SMART TECHNOLOGY

It’s been a year since COVID-19 altered the foundations of work. A year where workplace and real estate professionals have led the charge in transforming how their organizations do business.
But what now?
With the initial shock behind us and a sense that there will be an ability to return to the office in 2021, companies are seizing the moment for long-term planning. This planning will not be easy as there are no solid answers to how – or when – strategies will be able to be implemented.
That’s why we are here! Future Offices Spring (Online) is back this April 27-28! We are bringing together a variety of perspectives from across industry so you can benchmark your own plans for 2021 and beyond.
Some of the hottest topics we will address:
• Planning and strategizing the physical return to the workplace
• How to invest and re-design the physical workplace post-COVID anticipating a hybrid work environment
• Adapting culture and square footage to capitalize on a proper activity-based work environment in a continued hybrid model
• Redesigning the employee value proposition to meet employee expectations and those of future candidates
• Change management initiatives to get customers to commit to the new workplace model
• And more!
Through a combination of case studies, panel discussions, and face to face roundtables (virtually, that is) that pack plenty of information punch, Future Offices Spring is the only event that attracts corporate real estate, workplace strategy/experience, facility managers and design experts to the same table.
