The competitive edge you need
Real estate leaders are competing for tenants amidst a once-in-a-generation confluence of threats including reduced demand, reduced leverage, and financial pressures. At the same time, employers are struggling to encourage and enforce in-person workplace attendance.
But Los Angeles is full of intrepid and innovative owners, operators, and occupiers who are winning in this new landscape by reactivating the city's workspaces and delivering exceptional end-user experiences of real estate. That’s why HqO is recognizing the Best Spaces to Work in Los Angeles that are reinvigorating culture, community, and engagement in the workplace by aligning purpose, form, and function with their customers.
How it works
Published quarterly, the list is based on real estate experience data from tenants and their employees gathered through HqO’s proprietary Intelligence products leveraging the world’s most powerful and trusted employee experience assessment framework.
To participate in the program, nominated spaces – buildings, offices, and amenities alike – undergo a REX Assessment to generate their REX Score, the quality measure of the end-user experiences within their space. Scores are then compared to data gathered over the last decade from over 8,000 workplaces and more than 1.7 million employees. If a REX Score meets or exceeds benchmarks from this data, the space will be certified and promoted as one of the Best Spaces to Work in Los Angeles.
The program is rolling, meaning data is continuously gathered, so REX Scores can always improve. For those who want to take it a step further, HqO will work with customers whose space did not meet benchmark criteria to help them create and implement a REX strategy that will be sure to increase their score.
