About 77% of respondents to JLL’s annual survey on the future of work said offering remote or hybrid work will be critical to attracting and retaining talent in the next few years.

Most also said a quality workplace was a bigger priority than expanding their footprint (see chart), even though 72% said the office will remain central to their organization’s ecosystems in the long run.

“One of the biggest drivers shaping the future of real estate over the next three years will be the flight toward quality office space,” JLL’s research team wrote of the report’s findings.

The survey highlights a dramatic shift in work culture taking shape. About half of respondents said they expect to use a hybrid model by 2025 that gives employees more choices, down from 8% before the pandemic.

More than half of respondents said they also expect to pay a premium for office space with green credentials in the next three years, as many companies work to cut carbon emissions.
