Workplace offices now have competition, which comes in the form of what employees have to compare their workspaces to. For decades, office work meant sitting at a desk, under fluorescent lights, in a building designed around function rather than experience. Then remote work changed employees’ expectations.
People started measuring their workplace against home offices, coffee shops, and hotel lobbies. Corporate campuses are often losing that comparison. Companies spend millions on interior renovations while the outdoor areas surrounding their buildings get less attention.
