A new international survey of office occupiers released by Cushman & Wakefield with industry non-profit CoreNet Global shows some "key shifts" in approaches to real estate and workplace strategies and decisions.

The survey responses came from more than a dozen countries and represent 9.6 million employees globally and 741 million square feet of real estate.

"Our survey, in cooperation with CoreNet Global, provides a detailed look at what is driving workplace, location and portfolio decisions by tenants around the world – and the findings demonstrate movement in thinking and approach in the aftermath of the pandemic," Dimitris Vlachopoulos, Cushman partner and head of total portfolio and location strategy, says in prepared remarks. "Moreover, our special topic in this edition is on how occupiers are reacting to the rising importance of business objectives associated with Environment, Social & Corporate Governance (ESG), as climate change continues to affect our lives & businesses. In sum, our findings show that real estate goes flex, to win on cost, talent and ESG."
