Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, South-East Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, provides us with an in-depth account of how the company acknowledges the transformative impact of technologyinduced designs and actively adopts specific strategies to stay ahead of these evolving changes
There has been a meaningful shift in the workplace sector in India over the past few years as the pandemic in 2020 triggered the move and adoption of remote work, leading to the emergence of flexible and hybrid work models. In 2021, workplaces prioritised employee well-being and safety by implementing social distancing measures and leveraging technology for seamless collaboration between in-office and remote teams.
Last year saw workplaces evolving into agile and versatile environments, with a growing emphasis on activity-based workspaces. Employers recognised the importance of fostering a sense of community among distributed teams and invested in innovative workplace strategies. The industry is now witnessing workplaces have transformed into hubs for collaboration, innovation, and employee engagement rather than just places for daily work. The “hub-and-spoke” model, combining central and satellite offices, has gained popularity for improved accessibility.
Given the workplace sector is constantly undergoing dynamic changes, Anshuman Magazine, Chairman & CEO - India, SouthEast Asia, Middle East & Africa, CBRE, provides us with an in-depth account of the significant shifts and transformations in the industry.
