JLL research reveals that companies focused on return to work
must implement customizable technologies to build effective hybrid
working models
CHICAGO, Oct. 11,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As businesses adapt to hybrid
work this fall and beyond, JLL's (NYSE: JLL) Technology and
Innovation in the Hybrid Age report finds that tech-enabled
solutions are crucial to the success of the hybrid work model. The
research shows that there is no one-size-fits-all solution and
organizations will need to implement tailored tools and processes
that work for their employees, clients and business
models.
"Hybrid work looks different for every business given the
uniqueness of their employee base and business model, and where
they are with regard to return to work," said Sharad Rastogi, President, JLL Technologies.
"While the office remains a cornerstone of operations, identifying
and adopting the right technologies so employees can seamlessly
work in the office, at home or elsewhere is essential to the
success of the hybrid work model."
Companies have started to adopt technology, but it's still in
early stages
Several technologies are considered
essential for executing hybrid work, but JLL's research found that
while there is an ambition to adopt these technologies across
companies, there's a large gap between future plans and current
implementation.
Top technologies in service of hybrid work that are currently in
place across companies surveyed include remote working technology
(47%), in-office collaboration technology (40%) and workplace
experience apps (36%). Companies plan to adopt solutions like
sustainability and environment controls (60%), digital
infrastructure and connectivity (58%) and occupancy and environment
sensors (56%) over the next three years.
With 55% of office-based employees now in a hybrid work pattern,
companies must increase the rate of technology adoption to meet
workforce preferences and business goals.
Technology adoption is pivoting from reactive to
forward-looking implementation
On average, companies
have adopted only four out of the 15 anchor technologies necessary
for the hybrid work transformation, but many have significant
ambitions. By 2025, 78% plan to incorporate the majority of these
technologies into their portfolios and in 2022 alone, most
companies aim to adopt up to six new technology solutions.
Moreover, to harness the technological expertise needed to identify
and implement these solutions, an increasing number of companies
are outsourcing. 44% of large organizations are reporting that they
are working with external partners to accelerate commercial real
estate technology implementation.
With a greater variety of technology solutions available than
ever, developing a strategic approach is critical
As
organizations navigate their approach to hybrid work, they need to
work closely with employees to find the right technology that works
best for their business. Companies are now able to select from a
greater selection of technology solutions than ever to meet their
specific needs.
Additionally, more organizations are recognizing that no single
technology offers a magic solution, and they will have to implement
specific sets of solutions and related services that take into
consideration their current and future needs. Companies that can
empower employees and support flexibility with the right
technologies and purposefully designed workplaces will succeed in
the hybrid working environment.
"Leading edge, innovative companies are establishing strategic
approaches for hybrid work to select the right technologies,
develop the right capabilities and execute on well-defined
implementation roadmaps," said Rastogi.
