Our Workplace Strategies team is integrated within our Global Corporate Services group to support enterprising clients in delivering a more effective working environment. An environment attuned to the needs of their business, and geared to generating improved productivity and cost efficiency.
Why a workplace strategy?
Our workplace strategies enable a sharper commercial focus and more competitive financial performance by:
Creating flexible environments that motivate staff and are more productive
Expanding the concept of what a workplace is
Better utilising space to ensure that capital is deployed more efficiently
Reducing environmental impact of your property and workforce
Integrating with your business
Our team of experts coordinate key stakeholders to ensure that the tools of technology, policy and workplace are integrated and fully aligned with your corporate culture and objectives. This includes evaluating the appropriateness and impact of opportunities such as:
Collaborative open plan working environments
Mobile and enabling technology
Flexible working policies and practices
Getting buy-in
You need to be confident that ambitious change programmes pass your investment thresholds. At the outset of any assignment, we prepare detailed cashflow models to identify the returns you can expect.
Before implementation can commence, we will work with you to agree milestones and timelines, demonstrating to your senior team that the initiative is in safe hands.
Realising the gains
Just creating a plan doesn’t mean you realise the gains. The real challenge is making it happen.
Our commitment is to help you achieve the strategic and productivity benefits. This involves ensuring connectivity between activities and departments, and working as ambassadors for culture change.
Enterprise-wide change
Many of our clients operate across borders. This is where our scale can make such a difference. With experts and offices in 36 countries throughout EMEA, and full access to CB Richard Ellis’s global capabilities, we can deliver consistent enterprise wide workplace strategies.
"Our goal is for a working environment that enables us to measure performance principally by outputs. CB Richard Ellis is helping us make innovative property decisions and connect them with IT, HR and the mainstream business. The results are greater flexibility and a culture of collaboration and accountability."
