SUMMARY:The Future of Work – Redefining the Workplace & Impact on the Real Estate Market 2022
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the joint seminar with the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BCCJ). \nWe now find ourselves over two years deep into a 50-million-person global experiment defining what a modern workplace should look like. Country\, business and community leaders continue to diverge on the question of where and how work should be performed\, while there has been a widespread shift towards repurposing the role of the office to better complement hybrid work. The impact on the office market has been significant and while rents have declined\, there has been a recent uptick in demand\, an indication of a changing mindset in Japan. \nAccording to a recent JLL study\, 57% of employees now prioritise work-life balance over other job perks\, while 52% stated that they miss personal interactions from the office. The new challenge for leaders will be to create an effective work environment that recognises these shifting needs of individuals\, and will entice employees to use the space for teamwork and collaboration. But in order to master this\, companies need to first understand the current and forecasted states of the real estate market. How are developers and key office markets responding to this shift in demand? Who will occupy all these new buildings under construction? And more importantly for you\, what will happen to your office rent going forward? \nThis 90-minute session will be the first of a three-part “Future of Work: Redefining the Workplace” series\, focusing on its impact on the real estate market in 2022 and beyond. We invite you to join us on the morning of June 22 for a hybrid event at the Tokyo EDITION Toranomon for an in-depth breakdown of the above\, where we will be joined by three experts at JLL for what promises to be an unmissable event. \nEvent Details\nDate: Wed\, 22nd June \nTime: 8:00am – 9:30am \nVenue: 2F Meeting Studio at The Tokyo EDITION\, Toranomon. \nPrice: \nIf you would like to attend this event\, \n\n6\,800 BCCJ Members (and SpCCJ Members)\n8\,800 Non-BCCJ Members\n\nIf you would like to attend ONLINE\, \n\n1\,500 BCCJ Members (and SpCCJ Members)\n3\,000 Non-BCCJ Members\n\n*If you are a SpCCJ member\, please contact us to get the discount. \nTo book your spot\, please click here! \nRegistration deadline: Noon\, Monday\, 20th June 2022 \n  \nAre you not a member of the SpCCJ yet? Find out more about the membership category and benefits on our website and contact us at info@spanishchamber.or.jp.
