Flexibility and Autonomy Strongly Considered

Edie Weintraub, managing director, terra alma, tells GlobeSt.com that companies anticipating inflation are planning for smaller spaces, more flexible lease terms (shorter terms) and more satellite offices vs. a single large space.

“These changes are not only a cause of inflation but also a post-COVID workplace environment,” Weintraub said. “Beyond economic conditions, employees are pushing for flexibility and autonomy, which employers are also taking into consideration.”

She said that the biggest questions remain: how do companies continue to build culture, and collaboration and offer mentorship while balancing work from home and office footprints.
