If you had to rent an office today, what would be the decisive criteria for you? In times of extensive mobile availability and internet access, is it still important to maintain a centrally situated office location? How do tenants measure the sustainability of an office property? CA Immo investigated these and other questions by conducting an online survey of more than 700 existing CA Immo tenants in locations including Germany, Austria, Poland, Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
Flexible workplace models still the minority but gaining ground
85% of the companies say that they currently offer fixed workstations to their employees, either exclusively or predominantly. Mobile and flexible workstations, either within the office premises, at other company premises or in the form of home-office working, are the principal model for 29% of the office tenants at present. When asked about future developments, companies stated that fixed workplace options will predominate in their company exclusively (34%) or in the majority of cases (also 34%) in future. The sharp fall in the proportion of exclusively fixed workstations from 49% to34% underlines the trend towards greater workplace flexibility. 38 % of the companies in the survey say that in future they will offer flexible workplace models, either exclusively or predominantly.
