Abstract: The ‘war for talent’ is on and the workplace is the battlefield. This paper will explore how corporate real estate (CRE) and workplace executives can leverage cutting-edge technologies such as the smart building, the Internet of Things (IoT) and space utilisation sensor technologies to understand their workplace in real time, all the time. Empowered with this data, CRE and workplace can confidently deliver insights throughout the workplace design process that can transform the way their organisation works. Next-generation workplace design technologies such as 3D modelling and augmented reality (AR) can be used to involve the building occupants, allowing them to shape the design towards delivering a workplace that talent needs today. When these innovative workplace and design technologies come together, CRE and workplace executives can be empowered to spearhead change throughout the organisation. This will result in a better workplace more aligned to serve the talent that the organisation so desperately needs in order to thrive.
