Office Space Leasing Decisions Should Consider Collaborative Work Needs

One of the first steps to increasing your company’s productivity may be found in the design and functionality of your office space and how it is used by your employees. Many research studies have found a direct correlation between office space and productivity. Cushman & Wakefield and CoreNet Global recently sponsored a research study of corporate real estate executives thoughts on how to foster innovation in the workplace. One of the key findings was that if you promote collaboration among employees you can achieve better work results.

More than two thirds of the study respondents rated the quality of the physical environment as important and 34.7% saw a need to change their physical environment to improve face to face collaboration. Other results also point to the need for office collaboration-93.5% ranked “in-person interaction and human contact” as the most important contributor to innovation.
