Real Estate implications on returning to work from COVID

Featuring Jeff Mack, Executive Managing Director, Newmark

WHEN: July 8, 2022, 8:30 am – 10:00 am

Companies have many challenges (and opportunities) to consider as they return to the new normal post Covid.  Jeff will cover:

  1. Corporate “return to work” stats & trends – real time examples
  2. Hybrid work models/examples
  3. Workplace Strategy – design of new offices – Flight to Quality – in less space for most firms but migration to Class A. Creating space to use as a recruiting tool.
  4. #1 reasons employees switch jobs
  5. Employee surveys – sample questions – to determine the new space model
  6. What is the Covid impact on the Current Office Market? New leases, lease restructures, mark-to-market. Impact on building values.
  7. What are Leaders working on to re-create Culture on their companies.
  8. Amenities & Hospitality – as part of the workplace
