Office Space, Coworking and the Happiness Factor
A shift in thinking in the US real estate industry could be part of the reason behind the US' high score.
For decades, the CRE industry has focused on the "buyer" and not the "user." However, landlords have recently come to realize that the focus must now shift to employees and to their happiness. The office is no longer simply a 9-5, four-walls-and-a-desk, come-do-your-job-and-leave space anymore. Employees now expect a certain level of quality, modernization and access to amenities.
