Shifting dynamics: 10 ways to create winning workplaces

Amid shifting labour dynamics and heightened employee expectations, the question facing every organisation is whether their workplace can truly earn people’s commitment.

People want to feel valued, connected and supported at work, and when organisations cannot offer this, talent will move elsewhere. According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report, half of employees are considering leaving their roles. This makes it critical to strengthen people’s experience and workplace strategy.

Competitors are also reshaping their workplaces. Nearly two-thirds of organisations surveyed in JLL’s Global Future of Work study are increasing investing in space design, employee experience and hospitality services.

Attracting high performers

To create a workplace experience that attracts high performers, consider the following priorities:

• Give people a voice in key workplace decisions
• Shift to adaptable spaces that evolve with changing business and work patterns, needs and ways of working
• Balance personalisation with coherent workplace standards
• Ensure technology connects the workforce equitably wherever they work

Creating a workplace that genuinely supports people is no longer a differentiator but an essential strategy for retaining talent in a shifting labour market. Organisations that listen to their employees, invest in adaptable environments and enable seamless connection will be better positioned to attract high performers and sustain a resilient, committed workforce.
