Office Expectations Vs. Reality
14 Minute Listen
The world has changed significantly over the last two years. The way we live, work and interact with one another was flipped on its head. In the shift to flexible working, what we knew to be the traditional office was put into question and people’s priorities changed.
In today’s episode we’re shining a spotlight on the office experience and talking expectation vs. reality. What trends we anticipated to see in the office VS. what is actually happening in workplaces today. Hosted by Janet Martin, Former Regional Director Workplace Strategy & Change Management and Sameer Chopra, CBRE’s Head of Research in Pacific and Head of ESG Research across Asia Pacific.
