While a bigger paycheck is still a driver of job turnover, a new report from JLL shows that quality of life and personal development have never been more important for employees.  

Despite economic uncertainty, the fight for quality talent continues. According to JLL research, more than 50% of office workers have left their jobs since the start of the pandemic. And more than 90% say they would consider changing jobs again in the next 12 months. 

To attract and retain talent in the hybrid era, employers must rethink the pre-pandemic playbook. But can companies create workplaces that provide the flexibility that employees want, while also meeting productivity goals? Can a well-designed hybrid strategy foster real collaboration within the workplace – and help make your company a place workers want to visit? Flore Pradère, JLL's research director for Global Work Dynamics, and Amber Schiada, head of JLL America’s Work Dynamics research, discuss today’s new employee value proposition.

Investors are funneling billions of dollars into the life sciences industry, helping early-stage biotech companies—responsible for bringing nearly two-thirds of new products to market in the past decade—discover new therapies, make a positive clinical impact and grow. But first, they need to find more space—and finding any lab space in today’s market is nearly impossible, with demand high and supply nearly dried up. 

Meanwhile, midsize biotech companies are facing a bear market and trying to conserve cash to weather the slowdown. One way they’re doing this: by subleasing excess space for the near future. This has given scaling companies a huge opportunity to get the space they need with more flexible leases.

How do these deals work? Robert Coughlin, managing director of JLL's life sciences practice, explains.

As tenants call for increased flexibility to meet the demand of dispersed teams and hybrid environments, flexible space can help make an asset more competitive in the market. What started as a sweet deal for startups and smaller companies looking for malleable lease terms, co-working has accelerated to a multibillion-dollar industry in demand from every sector. This is why JLL has predicted that 30% of office space will be flexible by 2030.  

So, how can you be sure you’re serving up what your tenants need and ensuring your assets have the right mix of space amid this changing environment? Find out in this special live episode of Building Places, where host James Cook interviews JLL’s trifecta of flex expertise, including Jacob Bates, Head of Americas Flex by JLL, Anastacia Anderson, Vice President of Investor Partnerships, and Kez Anderson, Senior Vice President of Sales.
