Panelists presented practical ways that landlords and employers can optimize hybrid work models by adopting flexible workplaces and customized software.<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland-based IWG CEO Fatima Koning and Gareth Haver, CEO for the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Northern, Central and Eastern Europe regions shared what\u2019s working for them:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe office is not in one place any longer\u2014it is everywhere,\u201d said Koning. She observed that flexibility and mobility rank high on tenant demands. Traditional office space is not obsolete, but employees want (and often need) the ability to work from different settings. This includes but is not limited to their homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraditional models will no longer accommodate the workplace and workers of the future. The new standard of hybrid work promotes efficiency and connectivity, and technology is a big part of that. More advanced and empowered technology can enhance not only occupancy planning but also the overall work experience,\u201d said Koning.<\/p>\n<p>While the pandemic expedited the adoption of remote work policies for many commercial companies, the trend towards remote work has been on the rise for years. Employees gain a better work-life balance, shorter commutes, and designated time for collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>Haver adds that employees aren\u2019t the only ones to benefit from hybrid models. Employers gain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lower costs<\/li>\n<li>higher employee performance<\/li>\n<li>staff retention<\/li>\n<li>and the environmental benefits of reduced travel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Optimizing flexible workspaces with technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Creating destination office experiences requires a blend of traditional and flexible work modules. The hybrid model fulfills its potential with technology.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cHow Technology Can Help Landlords Attract Post-Pandemic Tenants\u201d session approached tech options for flexible workplaces. Panelists advised owners, employers and space coordinators to investigate functionalities within software products. One nonnegotiable feature is customization. Software must be malleable enough to meet tenants\u2019 unique needs.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Josipovic is the executive director of global product management at JLL, a <a href=\"http:\/\/yardi.com\/\">Yardi<\/a> client. On the panel for \u201cDynamic Occupancy Management for the Hybrid Workplace,\u201d Josipovic addressed strategies that he believes will replace traditional operations.<\/p>\n<p>JLL currently advises clients to adhere to a \u201cdynamic space-planning model.\u201d The model includes seating zones as well as short-term and long-term zone reservations. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/prospect-portal\/\">reservation system permits shared workspaces<\/a> for employees with regularly scheduled cleaning sessions between visits. Tenant can remotely control access via smart locks. Josipovic recommends digitizing manual processes for space usage data and using AI to improve services.<\/p>\n<p>Front-end interface will determine the success of a solution. Space management software should offer easy accessibility to employees. Connectivity is only the beginning, panelist proposed. Helping tenants and their employees engage with the in-building experience is essential.<\/p>\n<p>Touchless technology is also a major consideration in the post-pandemic future. Contact-free doors, personal storage, conference rooms and desks are in demand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/events\/webinars\/?YardiKube\">Join a webinar to learn more about commercial shared space management tools for workplaces of the future.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first annual CoreNet Corporate Real Estate Week was a success!
