Time to redefine future workplaces: Gensler
Gulf Construction|July 2024
A HIGH-PERFORMING workplace is no longer solely defined by building efficiency or space effectiveness; it is also measured by the workplace experience - or, how employees feel in the space, according to Gensler, a global design and architecture firm headquartered in California, US.
Time to redefine future workplaces: Gensler

The Gensler Research Institute recently announced the findings from its Global Workplace Survey 2024, offering fresh insights into the future of the work space.

The comprehensive global study shifts the focus from employee presence in the office to workplace performance.

The survey, Gensler's most extensive study yet, gathered insights from more than 16,000 global office workers, uncovering the strategies that define today's topperforming work environments.

According to the report, 94 per cent of employees in exceptional workplaces have a choice in where they work within the office, granting them the autonomy to work across multiple settings and promoting a higher sense of value and engagement.

For the first time, the new survey goes beyond office walls to reveal how exceptional workplaces perform as part of a broader ecosystem of spaces and experiences. These top-performing workplaces - often located in amenity-rich neighbourhoods - are part of a wider environment that includes diverse spaces such as libraries, cafes, outdoor areas, and coworking spaces.
