Facility Managers, Corporate Real Estate professionals, Workplace Strategists, Workplace Technologists, Safety and Security professionals – company workplaces need you today more than ever! Because regardless of what your company’s hybrid policy looks like, two important facts remain true: 1. Data continues to show that the need for an office or a company workplace is not going anywhere. And workplaces are no longer serving the same purpose they used to. Which is why.. 2. Hybrid strategies cannot be successful without decisions on transforming the workplace. As the only professionals in your organization who understand the workplace, and who can drive the hybrid strategies in all aspects of a physical work environment, you are the only ones who can successfully lead this transformation. It’s time to step up. Because all hybrid strategies NEED you. Companies NEED you. To help you lead these decisions by understanding how all workplace functions contribute to a hybrid workplace experience – including what each of their critical measures of success are, visit the Workplace Experience Training Program – designed to help all workplace professionals succeed! https://lnkd.in/gAN8yGzV The below video clip is from The Chief Workplace Officer presentation for IFMA’s Silicon Valley on 4/24/2024.

The most common misunderstanding about “Workplace” is that it is only made up of either “Facilities” or “Real Estate”. When in reality, a workplace experience is driven by ALL the corporate functions whose primary focus is the physical work environment, which includes ALL these functions: Workplace Strategy Corporate Real Estate Interior Design and Space Planning Project Management Facility Management Safety and Security Workplace Services or Amenities Workplace Technology DEIB as supported in the physical space Workplace Sustainability It takes all these functions working together to drive a workplace experience that is essential to an individual worker, to teams, and to the organization itself - especially in this hybrid environment. And truth be told, the skills, competencies, vision, and understanding of each of these functions do not exist in any other corporate department – neither Finance, nor Human Resources, nor IT. ?So how can they be expected to drive decisions on creating workplace experiences? As Workplace Professionals, YOU are the only ones in your organizations who have what it takes to transform the workplace and successfully support workers, teams, and the organization in any hybrid environment. So the call for you to lead the way is real. This video clip is from Leni Rivera's talk on The Chief Workplace Officer for IFMA's IFMA Silicon Valley on 4/24/2024.

As hybrid strategies are being developed in companies around the world, data shows that the need for an office or a company workplace remains both relevant and important to maintaining business success. But the fact is, the workplace is no longer what it used to be. It too, is transforming in this hybrid environment, and the need to redefine it – to transform it along with the hybrid environment – is just as pressing. This is why hybrid strategies cannot rely on policy and HR alone to be successful. Hybrid strategies need to include decisions on the transformation of a workplace – which is something that only Workplace Teams are equipped to do. As hybrid strategies continue to evolve, you NEED your Workplace Teams more than ever before.
