GuocoLand taps X factor to help tenants pull workers to offices amid hybrid work
It finds that Grade A office buildings need to have a range of amenities, be in a vibrant location for greater appeal to occupiers seeking to build social capital
A GREATER differentiation will emerge among Grade A office buildings in Singapore as businesses seek to build social capital in a hybrid working environment, according to the group chief executive officer of GuocoLand .
“Companies that want to attract their staff back to the office more often will need to be not just in a Grade A office building but one with many amenities, lifestyle offerings and in a vibrant location,” said Cheng Hsing Yao in an interview with The Business Times.
Many of the head honchos of GuocoLand’s office tenants have shared with the property group that they wished more of their staff would spend more time working from the office instead of at home.
