The
report‘s “key learnings” include:

1. Productivity can occur anywhere, not just at the office:

• Pre-COVID-19,
  remote workers were more engaged and had a better workplace experience
  than office workers
• During the
  pandemic, effective team collaboration has reached new heights, through
  better leverage of remote collaborative technology, and the ability to
  focus was upheld

2. Flexibility and choice to work
from anywhere is accelerating

• 73% of the
  workforce believes companies should embrace some level of working from
  home
• Human connection
  and social bonding are suffering, impacting connection to corporate
  culture and learning
• Younger
  generations are reporting more challenges working from home

3. The new normal will be a Total
Workplace Ecosystem:

• The workplace will
  no longer be a single location but an ecosystem of a variety of locations
  and experiences to support convenience, functionality and wellbeing
• The purpose of the
  office will be to provide inspiring destinations that strengthens cultural
  connection, learning, bonding with customers and colleagues, and supports
  innovation
• Current footprint
  sizes will remain steady, balancing social distancing’s relaxing of space
  density with less office space headcount demand in the new total workplace
  strategy
