Holding events in multipurpose spaces within a firm’s own workplace is not just about getting people to collaborate or socialize while at the office, but how the company can reinforce its culture, values, and story.

INSIGHTS

Large firms attract and retain talent with in-house multipurpose spaces.

By replacing auditoriums with multipurpose spaces, financial services firms can offer workers more opportunities to socialize with coworkers, grow their networks, and develop their careers.

 

Design for uninterrupted focus work remains a top priority.

Recognizing that focus is not just individual, focus spaces will need to balance technology and furniture to work effectively for individual productivity as well as two- or three-person teamwork.

 

Ongoing preparation for a multigenerational workforce drives design considerations.

To orient spaces toward the next generation of workers and clients, financial services firms can add spaces for mentorship and community building. Seamless collaboration technology can address new thinking patterns, standards, and expectations.
