In 2022, the world adjusted to new ways of working, and many companies experimented with new and exciting technologies to optimize the workplace. In 2023, as the state of the market continues to evolve, new trends will undoubtedly start to emerge, but the latest data tells us that many employees are dissatisfied with their workplace environments and are resistant to return to the office, despite more and more companies demanding it.
As a result, we expect to see strong investments in workplace technology continue into 2023 and beyond. Deloitte’s 2023 CRE Outlook Survey finds, for example, that 48% of commercial real estate (CRE) CFOs will look to increase their spending on technology in the coming year. Deloitte also found that 17% of CFOs will look to increase that spending by at least 5%.
As industry leaders consider adding workplace experience technology as part of their increased technology investment, they’ll have to make sure that they’re choosing the right technology to meet their business needs, especially in today’s challenging economic climate. That’s why we’re publishing an extensive new collection of employee sentiment data in our State of Workplace Experience in 2023 report.
When times change, we learn more about ourselves and what we truly value. That’s one of the reasons why we’re continuing to both see and help companies make smart investments in workplace experience. By strengthening the social infrastructure of our workplaces—and, ultimately, the social infrastructure of the cities that support them—we help bring people closer together, and right now, that’s exactly what people want and need.
