In a survey of Facebook employees covered by the Harvard Business Review, the participants identified three things they wanted most from work: career, community, and cause. When those three critical elements are met, they give employees a sense of respect, care, and recognition from their community at work, and they report that they truly “bring their whole selves to work.” This sense of connection with a work community enriches their feeling of accomplishment, beyond the physical walls of the workplace.
It has been a trying time across all industries and all kinds of interpersonal relationships. Community managers and tenants are considered in-person communities, and as such, are particularly affected by the onslaught of this uncertainty. COVID-19 has urged community managers to think on their feet when it comes to solutions for pressing concerns among their tenants. Clear communication is the cornerstone of maintaining tenant relationships – despite it looking differently from what it once was.
COVID-19 brings uncertainty to many tenants, and with current social distancing measures in place as well as a majority of companies transitioning to working from home arrangements, the requirements of an office space have been severely impacted.
In the last month alone, the vacant office space offered by tenants for sublease has approximately doubled (from 50 to 100,000 m2). This is a unique opportunity, especially for small companies with up to 50 employees, which can now afford prestigious "A" offices commonly intended for larger corporations due to the coronavirus crisis. And under very advantageous conditions, often with a better price or higher flexibility of commitment compared to standard five-year contracts.
Only 18% of the companies surveyed reduced their leased office space and 27% gave up the planned expansion.
The pandemic accelerated the onset of new trends. Flexibility is at the heart.
64% of respondents-companies in the Czech Republic and 75% in the CEE region plan to invest in new technologies to support teleworking.
24% of Czech and 32% of Central European representatives of the surveyed companies expect increased interest in the sustainable construction of buildings.
Avast Software is planning to recruit 200 people this year. Due to that the company shall lease 15,000 square meter in a new office building Enterprise in Pankrac district, Prague.
