Report: Enabling Work Through Effective Partnering
Orchestrating successful cross-collaboration to enable work is a challenge that corporate real estate (CRE) professionals have been grappling with for years. At face value, the idea of working together across various internal and external groups appears to be a relatively simple concept.

Report: Demographic Shifts: The World In 2030
We are entering a decade of seismic demographic change. The Baby Boomers will leave the workforce and Generation X will march ever closer to retirement age, to be replaced by Generation Y (also known as Millennials) and Generation Z as the dominant generations in the workplace. The impacts of this will permeate through all facets of the real estate sector, from the composition of the workforce to how the nature of work changes; from where people live and work to how they shop and relax.
While these trends will take place across countries, their most acute effects will be felt at the city and local levels. In this report, we analyze four key demographic issues: (1) the aging of Baby Boomers; (2) the progression of Millennials through the life course; (3) the difference between Generation Z and Millennials and (4) the impacts on the world’s cities. This report extends a global viewpoint and takes the perspectives of both occupiers and investors to identify opportunities and challenges that will be encountered by 2030.

Learn more through this report based on the results of a survey conducted by CoreNet Global and Cushman & Wakefield.

Article: The circular economy, part one:the imperative principles
Every designer currently working within the commercial sector or designing products for public use is currently encountering the term circular economy. Rather than the latest buzzword for recycling, the circular economy is a much broader, interconnected alternative to the traditional process of extracting raw materials and making them into products that are eventually discarded. The circular economy seeks to reimagine how things are made, designing against waste and pollution in the processes so that they have the potential to remain in use almost indefinitely, allowing natural environments to regenerate. The term circular references how humans can replicate the earth’s natural cyclical model, where nothing is ever really wasted but rather used as material for the next generation of growth. Why has this shift in thinking occurred among manufacturers and designers? Two reasons: raw materials and waste.
The LEADER: Leveraging workplace creativity to generate the ‘wow’ factor
How do you design to wow your creatives? Advertising, media, entertainment and other creative services firms are competing to find the most talented people in a red-hot talent market. But these firms must do more than just find and attract the best staff. Once they bring them on board, they need to offer inspiring and interactive experiences to engage and keep them. By incorporating the “wow” factor – unexpected elements of a workplace that surprise, delight or inspire – firms can foster deeper engagement with their people.

Article: Carving a positive employee-engagement journey through workplace design
"People don’t quit jobs, they quit their bosses."
Or so the saying goes. Today, it goes much beyond just bad bosses, and job satisfaction and professional fulfilment are important to all generations of employees. If employees feel disengaged at their workplace (be it due to incompetent managers, toxic work cultures or unchallenging job roles), they don’t hesitate to quit and look for something they’re actually passionate about.
Ensuring employee engagement is as important today as offering a great client experience.
