Such an exodus of women from the group of productive employees would greatly weaken the Czech labor market
Two years of the pandemic have changed many women's perspective on their career life. According to a study published by the McKinsey Global Institute, fully 25% of working women considered quitting their jobs and leaving the labor market. The demanding reconciliation of personal and work life during the pandemic restrictions often led to extreme exhaustion for them, in many cases even to the point of burnout. From the experience of Colliers, a leading diversified professional services company in the field of commercial real estate and investment management, it follows that their decision to leave their career can easily be reversed by the employer by adjusting the working environment and conditions or by investing in the employee's retraining.
The current economy has to deal with a number of negative factors affecting not only our personal but also our working life. The Covid pandemic and its consequences, the difficult geopolitical circumstances caused by the war in Ukraine, the skyrocketing energy prices, steeply rising inflation – all of this has an effect on the office market as well. Today, their tenants are faced with the question of how big offices they will need in the era of the "new normal" - and also in what buildings in order to be able to pay the rent in the rented premises without problems (1). In the considerations of tenants, the price-quality ratio is increasingly coming to the fore. When applying this key criterion, it turns out that class "B" offices, although their share of the market for administrative space in Prague is significantly lower than class "A" offices, are definitely not Cinderella. On the contrary – for many tenants, they are now the ideal solution to their needs. The example of the successful Nagano Park administrative complex in Prague 3 can be used to show why "B" offices are and will be in vogue.
