Return to office will need carrots and sticks

By Stephne Graham posted Oct 07, 2021
Be the first person to recommend this.
Some people will need coaxing to come back to the office, but there will be sticks too. That was the message from Tim Yendell at BP talking about the oil company’s return to the office. They’re currently operating a 60/40 office/ home model with individual teams working out what’s best for them. “We’re seeing a steady climb in occupation by incentivising people to make the commute worth it. It’s a case of test, talk to people and test again,” he said. The situation was similar at competitor Shell, according to Tim McDowell who said the firm was aiming for 80% occupancy. But for Lamia Zaky at Inmarsat, the approach was quite different. The firm has not ...

The Power of Connections Connections, and how to make them, was the theme that ran through CoreNet UK events over the last few months. And each session brought together a radically different perspective on the connections – both personal and professional – that impact the workplace. The Connections between Landlord and Occupier From a conventional perspective, the “ Using Covid as a catalyst to bring landlords and occupiers closer together” session assessed how Covid has brought landlords and tenants together like never before. The pandemic has brought the two sides of real estate closer than ever before, to adopt a partnership approach to ...

Join (or Rejoin) Today with these new incentives!

By Jordan Grote posted Jul 08, 2021
Be the first person to recommend this.
July has arrived and once again, it seems incomprehensible the first half of the year is behind us. June marked the introduction of our new hybrid model where all programs going forward will offer both an in-person and remote option. Admittedly, it is the hope of the board the in-person option will become the primary attendance model for most and the remote option will be for those on the go or for those facing unusual traveling distances to attend. Repeatedly, we hear from both members and guests that while the quality of the program matters to them, it is secondary to the value of the networking with like-minded professionals. Speaking of like-minded ...

A blueprint for future landlords occupiers relationships

By Alison Judd posted Jul 01, 2021
Be the first person to recommend this.
Covid has brought landlords and tenants together like never before. Two parties who typically met only occasionally, have sat down together and had open and honest conversations about real estate. In many cases, they’ve moved past their usual transactional relationship to adopt a partnership approach to support one another through Covid. But as the end of the pandemic is in sight, is there a risk that the two sides will return to the opposite side of the ring, never to talk again? At an event held at the end of June, CoreNet’s UK Chapter brought together representatives from landlords (Stuart Cranna/ Aviva Investors, Mark Tyson/ Legal and General Investment ...

May has arrived quickly and starting with our June program, we will be back to meeting in person. For those not comfortable meeting in person, we are working to make sure we continue with an online option. We anticipate the online option will continue indefinitely for our many remote members. Personally, I am looking forward to being back in person, but in a safe environment. In hearing from many of you, I know you agree with me the “community spirit” of our local chapter is most important to your membership. We all enjoy the terrific, thought-leading programs and access to resources on both the local and national level, but most important to our members ...

Coronavirus turned the world upside down in 2020 and discussions about the future of the office dominated the discourse.

Move to a Work Near Home Office Model

By Alison Judd posted Mar 31, 2021
Be the first person to recommend this.
Is the move to a Work Near Home office model a headline to sell newspapers or a trend that real estate professionals should be cognisant of? More than 350 sign-ups to the latest Corenet event on March 4 would suggest that there is a swathe of interest in a Hub and Spoke portfolio strategy. Hickey and the Instant Group presented their latest research “The Rise of Suburbia?” to assess the demand for regional workspace, the benefits of more office provision outside of city centres, and the limiting factors from a supply perspective. Data from both Instant and IWG clearly shows that regional demand for desks has increased during lockdown. But is this simply ...
