JLL and HqO Deepen Strategic Relationship to Strengthen Workplace Experience
July 12 2022 - 6:30AM
JLL (NYSE: JLL), a global leader in real estate and investment
management, and HqO, the industry-leading workplace experience
platform, have deepened their strategic partnership to address the
growing importance of workplace experience for building owners and
corporate occupiers. As part of a newly established global
licensing deal, JLL can now directly sell HqO, offering a
streamlined solution to a broader customer base. Additionally, HqO
has acquired JLL Jet, a hybrid workplace app, to enrich its
market-leading platform.
This agreement further solidifies JLL’s investment in HqO as the
industry standard in workplace experience for both commercial real
estate landlords and corporate employers worldwide. In 2021, JLL
invested in HqO’s Series C funding round and named HqO a preferred
provider because of HqO’s proven commitment to offering
best-in-class technology and customer service. As part of this
deal, JLL made an additional investment in HqO through its JLL
Spark Global Venture Fund, increasing its ownership and adding
Yishai Lerner, Co-CEO of JLL Technologies (JLLT), the technology
division of JLL, as a board member at HqO.
Workplace experience apps are rapidly becoming a requirement for
both businesses and property owners, with tenants and employees
demanding more engaging and seamless experiences with the people
they work with and the spaces they work in. This strategic
relationship unifies JLL’s tenant and employee experience offerings
into one streamlined platform, providing world-class programming
and services, as well as data-driven insights to continually
improve experiences and increase engagement.
“HqO is committed to not only transforming the modern office,
but also transforming how people engage with each other within
it,” said Yishai Lerner, Co-CEO of JLL
Technologies. “We’ve long trusted HqO as a strategic partner
to deliver the best technology to enhance the workplace experience
and are thrilled to roll out their expanded offerings across our
portfolio. With the acquisition of JLL Jet, HqO will strengthen its
offerings for our customers and this category as a whole.”
JLL is partnering with HqO to enhance its global workplace
experience strategy due to HqO's impressive track record and deep
commitment to delivering both best-in-class solutions and customer
success. HqO’s platform consists of an award-winning mobile app,
analytics suite, robust workplace experience data, hybrid work
tools and a flex space management system. HqO previously
established an advanced integration partnership with Building
Engines, a best-in-class building operations platform for
commercial landlords acquired by JLL in November 2021.
“JLL is a trusted partner whose commitment to delivering
unparalleled experience mirrors our own,” says Chase Garbarino,
Co-Founder and CEO at HqO. “As the preferred provider of workplace
experience solutions for JLL, we can ensure our clients have a
complete and fulfilling workplace experience, driven by rich data
and best-in-class technology.”
Currently active in more than 250 million square feet in 25
countries, HqO’s acquisition of JLL Jet is its third in recent
months. HqO recently announced the acquisition of The Leesman
Index, the world’s leader in measuring and benchmarking employee
workplace experience. In November 2021, HqO acquired Office App, a
leading European tenant and employee engagement platform.
