Increasingly, companies planning a relocation are not simply viewing the exercise as a physical move of the workplace, but an opportunity to undertake an organisational project that can be a catalyst for positive and high impact business change. As identified in the findings of the Commercial Moving Group/BIFM 2015 Survey on “Moves and changes in an evolving workplace” the key driver for relocating at present in the market is to effect change in many aspects of the organisation. In sourcing a new building, the decision makers are taking a people centric not building centric approach;- the space should suit the workforce, not the other way round. The new workplace should have an agile design, affording staff more flexibility in their work routine while enabling the organisation to be leaner and work smarter with their space. A more agile and dynamic workplace is better suited to the working practices increasingly embraced due to the disruptive change brought about by technology, and enhances business continuity.
