BOLSTER BUSINESS PERFORMANCE BY IMPROVING THE WORKPLACE EXPERIENCE

Talent is the clear driver of business success and will determine who wins and loses in the global market. Creating a compelling employee experience is the future workplace contributor to improving employee engagement. How can real estate help companies improve their employee’s experience? Learn more from Cushman & Wakefield’s Bryan Berthold , Managing Director Workplace Strategy. Why has the employee experiences moved to the forefront of many company’s workplace agenda? BB: Companies have known for years that improved employee engagement bolsters productivity which in turn leads to business success and profitability. Over the last two decades, companies have invested heavily in understanding how factors like compensation and manager quality increase employee engagement, but

the fact is that U.S. employee engagement has plateaued at only 33% (Gallup 2016). As a consequence clients have begun to look at how real estate and the workplace can better engage employees. The workplace experience is a critical component of employee engagement and now at the intersection of real estate and talent strategies. Typically owned by HR, half or our Workplace Strategy clients last year came through HR. Top companies will invest in superior workplace experiences. What are the benefits of companies focusing on the employee experience? BB: Employees that are engaged in the workplace are highly motivated and enthusiastic about their work and contributions. They are accountable and drive productivity and innovation and help businesses progress and succeed.
