Workplace consultancy and occupier services
Our approach to making workspaces effective
At Carter Jonas we recognise that the workplace performs a key part in our daily routine, whether working from home, within an office, or a specialist environment. How suitable those surroundings are will impact on our wellbeing and our ability to perform to the highest standards, affecting both our output and those of the organisations for which we work.
An effective workplace seeks to determine the most appropriate arrangement of our client’s spaces to enable efficient working for the tasks required.
Our professionals consider the individual activities involved and the collaboration of groups and teams to provide unique spaces that ensure all staff can complete their work to the best of their capability.
It is well documented that the improvement of staff wellbeing reduces stress and days lost from the workplace, helping to increase productivity whilst reducing costs associated with illness and fatigue.
This holistic approach helps organisations retain their staff and attract new members at a time when our staff are more aware of the environments in which they work.
Whilst users working from home will continue to adapt, the needs of organisations and their real estate will similarly evolve and provide core spaces for:
Within Carter Jonas we are sympathetic with those considerations, yet believe that whilst the corporate space will change, its importance will become greater than ever with an emphasis placed on the union of staff and corporate embodiment.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused organisations all over the globe to reconsider their ways of working and raised further questions relating to the future use of office and workplace accommodation.
Why workplaces will continue to be important
Staff focus
Corporate identity
Collaborative working
Educational resilience
Structured organisation
Wellbeing at work
Progressive thinking
Work time balance
Integrated with our tenant advisory team, our professionals can assess existing space requirements and its suitability against the organisations future ambitions, identifying opportunities to make greater use of the existing floor plate or recognise target area requirements for a future property search. This enables a greater understanding of future need, empowering a tenant when reviewing their property requirements.
At Carter Jonas we have been part of that process for many years, helping organisations address the way they work and advising on the spaces they occupy. Our workplace and spatial analysis team have more than 25 years of experience, listening to the way businesses operate, advising on alternative ways of working and supporting change to an effective workplace.
Evolution across the working environment and the spaces which we occupy has continuously affected the choices we make in our corporate real estate.
Tenancy advice relating to lease renewals or structured negotiation amid targeted property searches is the backbone of our tenant advisory team. Their specialist advice and unprecedented knowledge of the property market, particularly in the main economic cities, supports organisations making decisions relating to their second largest operating cost. This additional layer of due diligence enforces decisions often made at board level and which will impact on the effectiveness of a business over several years.
Why a change in workspace requirements
should be embraced
The process of our workspace consultancy advice
Project managers can manage the implementation of change, considering all aspects of work, whether it be phasing to ensure business continuity, careful programming of activities, procurement of construction teams or the inter-relationship of your specialist teams and business infrastructure requirements.
This critical part of the process can be fully supported by our professionals, throughout the duration of a project, providing confidence that added value is being achieved through efficient control.
Space planners can help visualise the arrangements of furniture and partitions, explaining the process of spatial design and considerations over core areas, collaborative zones, wellbeing spaces, client routes and circulation strategies. These have become more critical with considerations for COVID-19 secure environments.
Once decisions have been made on space and location, we are here to support a transition to a new environment or the reorganisation of existing premises.
