Top talent is shrinking
Many larger countries will face talent shortages as their workforce ages. This talent shortage will slowly start to challenge companies to find and keep top talent. They are realising they need to engage employees with workplaces that support their needs and wants and are beginning to reflect that in corporate designs.

Engaged employees can boost a company’s performance and bottom line by up to 20%. However, disengaged employees unfortunately outnumber the number of engaged employees. To create further engagement within the team, the workplace can be designed in a way to act as a communicating tool by providing spaces that invite collaboration.

That’s why is it important to design a workplace’s building with a clear consideration of distractions such as background noise, and other elements such as lighting, fresh and clean air, and quality work environments.
