This document discusses how changes in the workforce are driving changes in workplace strategies and real estate choices. Younger generations like Gen Y have different needs and preferences than previous generations, valuing flexibility, connectivity, and work-life balance. To attract and retain top talent, companies need to adapt workplace strategies to meet the needs of different generations working together. This involves offering flexible work arrangements, collaborative workspaces, and mobile work-enabled by new technologies. These changes can boost productivity and innovation while also reducing office space needs per employee. Real estate decisions will increasingly need to support talent attraction and retention, collaboration, and efficient use of space through mobility.

Teleworking and flex-office: moving towards mobile employees?Fabernovel
In the digital age, companies have access to tools which allow them to pursue having mobile workers both in and outside of the company. They are referred to as teleworking and flex office.
In 2019, it is no longer a question of whether or not to allow flex office and teleworking, but of how to manage the transition in a way that protects employees and does not interfere with the organization’s performance.“

Back in 2013 the McKinsey Global Institute published a report entitled Disruptive technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the global economy. The report identified 12 technologies that could drive truly massive economic transformations and disruptions in the coming years. The report also looks at exactly how these technologies could change our world, as well as their benefits and challenges, and offers guidelines to help leaders from businesses and other institutions respond. The Report estimated that, together, applications of the 12 technologies discussed in the report could have a potential economic impact between $14 trillion and $33 trillion a year in 2025.
The potential benefits of the technologies discussed in the report are tremendous—but so are the challenges of preparing for their impact. If business and government leaders wait until these technologies are exerting their full influence on the economy, it will be too late to capture the benefits or react to the consequences.
Disruptive Technologies examined the current challenges and opportunities brought by such innovation whilst providing delegates the opportunity to test technologies via live demonstrations.

How will the ‘mostly linear’ Innovation Processes and their corporate contexts, that have served us well over the past 50 years, be reshaped through disruptive key global trends?
- Exponential technologies
- Digitized health sciences
- Ubiquitous Internet connectivity
- Urbanization and ageing population
Exponential growth of technology will disrupt every business sector that has significant, and growing, information content.
Our annual Trends report is always a team effort, and this year’s team was bigger and more diverse than ever. More than 1,000 Fjordians, plus (for the first time) 85 clients from five continents, inspired our report, each bringing their own individual perspectives and experiences to the table.
We first gathered insights in all forms—a mix of hastily-drawn thoughts on Post-it Notes, elegant (and not-so-elegant) illustrations, simple scribbles and some long-form copy, and even some musings over a cup of coffee. We then took those insights into workshops designed to hone the thinking and spot patterns—and tapped into some digital tools to help us gather evidence for our best ideas (because at Fjord, we’re all about blending the physical with the digital). The result? Seven Trends affecting business, technology and design in 2018.
Today, we see deep division across global populations on a broad range of issues, which is creating social and political anxiety. We’re also experiencing tension as a result of deep technological change that is altering the world we live in. There is no running from these forces. For the first time, we feel that there is just one meta theme for Trends in 2018: Tension.
Creative Careers and the Future of Work: Adapting to ChangeRobert Half
Emerging technologies like AI and automation are transforming the nature of creative teams and their work faster than ever before, and in many cases, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated change in the workplace. Professionals and leaders who embrace and drive change are those best positioned for success now and in the future.
Diane Domeyer, executive director of The Creative Group, discusses how transformative technologies are redefining creative careers and the workplace, new skills needed for creative teams, and more in this session for Big Design 2020.
The workplace is changing. Since the physical office is no longer mandatory, employers are making it more appealing to be there, and easier than ever to collaborate.
But some emerging workplace trends are a bit eccentric unless you work in tech. How do you differentiate between a passing fad and lasting feature? Here are six trends to stand the test of time and deliver value for any company—no matter how traditional.

Top 10 Digital Transformation Trends for 2017Daniel Newman
Digital transformation reshapes every aspect of a business. As digital technology continues to evolve, I believe that successful digital transformation will require careful collaboration, thoughtful planning, and the inclusion of every department.
During recent years, we’ve seen shifts in how traditional leadership roles operate, as silos break down and the scopes of various roles widen and change. Digital transformation has morphed from a trend to a central component of modern business strategy.

2. Talent Attraction & Retention
Gen Y: Get Ready, They’re Here
Gen Y, Millennials, Echo Boomers – no matter what
you call them, most agree that they are a force to
be reckoned with. In less than a decade, they will
make up nearly half of Canada’s workforce and are
already driving a major shift in ideas as to how and
where we work.
Gen Y (most commonly referred to those born
between 1981 and 2000) represent the future
of our workforce. With a preference for flexible
hours, and a need for work-life balance, Gen Y can
sometimes be perceived as lazy, unprofessional and
having a sense of entitlement. However, reality has
shown they are dedicated and hard-working, with
the majority of them growing up using technology
and willing to work anytime and anywhere.
In a recent survey conducted by Odgers Berndtson,
only 41 percent of global executives said they
are prepared for the cultural changes that will
take place as these generations replace current
leaders. However, the majority of the respondents
agreed that their organizations are willing to make
the necessary changes in order to attract the best
talent.1
Since 2011, Canada has seen more employees
leaving the workforce than entering it,2
which
takes the “war for talent” to a whole new level.
Understanding what motivates Gen Y, and putting
the framework in place to deliver on it, will
give companies a considerable edge over their
competition.
In terms of the workplace, Gen Y has different
needs than previous generations:
> Central location
Gen Y choose where they want to live, and then,
where they want to work. Often choosing not to
own a vehicle, easily-accessible locations are
paramount to this generation.
Over the last few years, several companies have
relocated to more central areas near transit
hubs, including Telus, Coca-Cola, and Google,
all opening additional offices or relocating their
suburban offices to Downtown Toronto.
> Flexibility
Gen Y value the independence and flexibility of
working where and when they choose, both in
and out of the office.
> Connectivity
Gen Y have grown up with a constant connec-
tion to others through social media and other
outlets. They value a workplace that enables
open collaboration and social interaction.
Currently, many managers are trying to keep up with
the workforce changes. With Baby Boomers, Gen X
and Gen Y all in the workplace at the same time,
and all with very different needs and expectations,
the rate of change has been somewhat tempered
by this clash of cultures. Considering Gen Y are
already here, planning now for the future is critical.
Take Action: Profile your employees to understand
generational composition. Employee surveys are a
great tool to gather insight on wants and needs.

Traditionally, employees were restricted to a
physical office, but today, the office can be accessed
through the palm of your hands. This paradigm
shift is ongoing and change is inevitable for
companies to stay competitive. In the next decade,
savvy business leaders will be focused on three
connected factors driving change in the workplace:

3. Colliers projects that by 2018, square feet per employee bench-
marks will fall as low as 145 square feet, compared to today’s
average of 172 square feet per person. Despite a decrease in
individual space requirements, the need for additional meeting
rooms and common areas has kept the total amount of space
required from plummeting.
Take Action: Technology enables mobility, mobility enables shared
workspaces, and shared spaces result in a decrease in square
footage per employee. Evaluate how current office space is being
used to ensure maximum efficiency.
Final Thoughts
Business leaders today have a lot to consider when planning the
future of their workplaces – how can they leverage real estate
to act as a tool not only to attract and retain talent, but also as a
means of boosting productivity and containing costs?
Individually, people, productivity, and technology are not driving
change, but collectively, they have created a perfect storm. Real
estate has gone beyond just bricks and mortar, and companies
that are prepared to take action now will have the potential to
accelerate their success.

Productivity
Innovation Through Collaboration
In the past, maximizing profits depended
on the implementation of ‘systems’
and ‘stream-lined’ processes that got
things done better, faster, and cheaper.
Only recently have those ideas started
to change. Employers have begun to
realize that happy, healthy and stimulated
employees and an improved office culture
directly affect productivity, frequently
leading to more innovation and ultimately to business growth.
Successful companies are now viewing real estate as more than
just office space, realizing that having dynamic office space creates
a competitive advantage. High-tech firms are making headlines
with trendy workspaces that include mini-golf courses and video
games scattered throughout the office. However, behind the fun
and games, there are very sophisticated design principles at work
to ensure that these offices not only support collaboration and
creativity, but breed it. Research has shown that “the average
worker only sits at their desk around 35 percent of the time,”4
leading to more emphasis being placed on communal areas
including lounges, kitchens, brainstorming spots and even spaces
designed to simply allow for casual interactions.
Take Action: Review departments and functions to determine which
would benefit from specific workspaces to increase team collaboration,
casual meetings, and multi-media conferencing.
Technology
Doing More With Less
Telecommuting (or teleworking) is a trend on the rise and
although it doesn’t work for all companies, certain industries
are benefitting from a large boost in productivity and reduced
costs. In addition to the flexibility it offers employees, there are
increased cost savings to the employer as well.
Advances in technology have allowed us to not only access files
and documents from outside the four walls of the office, but to
have face-to-face meetings on a national or international basis
with virtual meeting software or even apps on your smart phone.
While nothing will ever replace the in-person feel, the cost and
time savings in using this technology are unquestionable.
In cases where employees work both remotely and on-site, hoteling
stations can be arranged to make better use of a company’s floor
plan, resulting in a smaller footprint per person in the office and
allowing additional costs to be allocated to common area space.
SQUARE FEET PER EMPLOYEE5
In Canada, the average square feet per employee could fall as low as 145 square feet by 2018.
