The four-day workweek and the growth of a hybrid workforce are both parts of what EY said is a shifting landscape in real estate management for corporate leaders."The economic downturn will force leaders to make important decisions regarding their real estate portfolios — from investments, to space optimization, to workforce models," EY partner Mark Grinis said in the press release.

Executives continue to invest in improving employee quality of life, according to EY. Forty-six percent of surveyed employers plan to introduce in-office baristas. A third of surveyed executives plan to implement or extend their childcare options for employees. These changes come after the Covid-19 pandemic bruised employees and drove an uptick in resignations across sectors.
