Savills has examined both employee-driven and occupier\/employer-driven factors to assess which global cities may see a faster transition to hybrid working post Covid-19. \u00a0From an office occupier perspective, New York, Paris, London, Berlin and Frankfurt may be primed for a faster transition to hybrid working, given comparatively high office costs, already flexible working practices and extended lockdowns, while less flexible working cultures in Mumbai, Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh City mean that any transition to hybrid working may be slower.<\/p>\n

As part of its 2021 global\u00a0Impacts<\/em><\/a> research programme, the international real estate advisor looked at metrics such as the size of people\u2019s homes, broadband speeds and commute times, alongside employer\/occupier-focused factors, such as the cost and efficiency of offices, workplace culture, and lease lengths to grade cities on their possible speed of migration to hybrid working.<\/p>\n

Large homes and long commutes make Los Angeles, for instance, ripe for hybrid working from an employee perspective, says Savills, though comparatively low office costs, long leases and a diversified economic base mean employer incentives to cut space may be lower than in some other cities. Smaller cities such as Lyon and Amsterdam, meanwhile, are likely to see a slower shift to hybrid working, given shorter commutes for employees and lower costs to office occupiers.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Bates<\/strong>, Head of EMEA Occupier Services at Savills, comments: \u201cTransition to a hybrid workforce is the biggest challenge businesses are going to face in the next five years. Even if you\u2019re in a city set to switch more slowly it\u2019s likely going to be something you\u2019ll have to manage, and given low office availability in many locations, it\u2019s better to start looking sooner rather than later to find space that will work for you in a hybrid model. With more collaborative space and increased room per employee likely, even if you have fewer people in the office you\u2019re likely to still need a similar quantum. But this space will need to deliver efficient hybrid working, which involves designing a balanced physical-digital ecosystem that effectively bridges the gap between remote and office-based workers in terms of experience, accessibility and reliability.\u201d<\/p>\n
