Offices remain a sustainable and profitable investment: they must be optimized to contribute to workplace well-being, innovation, and performance.
Remote work has transformed the business world, but offices are far from obsolete. On the contrary, they have become more important than ever, offering unique benefits to companies and employees.
Here are at least 5 good reasons to keep offices, even with remote work:
Offices foster collaboration and innovation
In-person work allows employees to meet, exchange ideas, and collaborate on common projects. This fosters collaboration and innovation, which are essential for business success. Without an office space, it’s difficult to provide access to specialized equipment, machinery, etc., to facilitate work and innovation.
Offices are essential for employee well-being
A pleasant and stimulating work environment contributes to employee motivation and productivity. Offices offer comfortable and equipped workspaces, as well as services and activities that promote employee well-being and foster a sense of team belonging.
Offices are a sustainable investment
Offices can be designed to reduce their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. They can also be equipped with advanced technologies that contribute to energy efficiency. At Campus Contern, for example, we are the first CO2-neutral certified building in Luxembourg, and our buildings are BREEAM Excellent certified (a guarantee of respecting nature and user comfort).
Offices are an indispensable communication tool
Offices allow companies to communicate effectively with their clients and partners. They offer a meeting and exchange place, which is essential for building trust. It is also a powerful tool to showcase service quality, an image, and thus communicate value externally and internally with employees.
Offices also become a CSR tool
With new SGRD regulations, governance, and ESG reporting obligations, the office plays a significant role in companies’ CSR reports. Having a fixed office allows for demonstrating and asserting one’s eco-responsibility through the traceability of actions, consumption, etc., which is impossible to demonstrate with remote work.
Offices are therefore a valuable complement to remote work. They offer unique benefits to companies and employees, enabling the company to be in the best conditions for growth.
