Creating an engaging and flexible workplace to retain employees

A successful hybrid working style creates a healthier balance between employees' professional and personal lives.

November 23, 2022

As a result of the rising “work-from-home/anywhere" trend, there has been a renewed focus for employers to evolve their workplace; the aim being to create non-prescriptive ways to bring employees back to the office.

Instead of enforcing a return to the office, employers are looking to create new, modern, and fun workplaces to organically entice staff back to the office. Creating an engaging workplace comes in different shapes and forms: some tenants are investing more in workplace technologies such as faster internet and more advanced video conferencing platforms, while some companies are putting a stronger emphasis on mental health via pragmatic initiatives, such as free perks, social events, and stress management support.
