Fireside Chat: Cracking the Tenant Code
What are the best strategies for engaging and retaining occupiers in a post-COVD world?
COVID-19 has transformed the way companies view their office, “severing employees’ attachments to the workplace”, and forcing many to question whether “offices are quite as core now” (FT, April 2021).
Whether you’re a CRE developer, asset owner, or landlord, join us for a provocative conversation on how you can capitalize on the post-pandemic opportunity to attract and retain corporate tenants.
It's time to usher in a new era of work.
Speakers:
- Nick Hughes - Standard Chartered, Regional Head Workplace, South Asia and ASEAN
- Dr. Richard Claydon - EQ Lab, Chief Cognitive Officer
- David Wong - BOOQED, CEO and Co-founder
We will be discussing the following:
- What is Standard Chartered’s vision for the workplace, and how are they preparing for this reality?
- What are the critical factors that should be considered when thinking about the hybrid workforce?
- Is the hospitality mindset the right direction for developers?
- What can landlords and developers do to add value for occupiers in this new normal?
The conversation will be taking place via Zoom. A link will be sent to your email.
