Work Space has changed fundamentally after COVID-19 stay-at-home orders PROVED that productivity could be maintained. Companies have learned their people can be productive without being tied to a specific desk. Employees have learned they can find balance without the daily commute grind and a majority now work hybrid with home office, scheduled in office days and some co-working space. This change is structural. Dave Cairnes (a CBRE Toronto leasing agent who works remotely from PEI!) and Dan Harvey Deputy Chairman of CBRE shares the future of workplace here.

Most Office Managers have come to a realization that their pre-pandemic space is far larger and different design than near future needs. No doubt your office of the future will be refocused on strategic productivity purposes and your suppliers need to be adaptable and preferably innovative to help you support the company. It is a Brave New World for Office Service.

Office cleaning leadership has fundamentally changed. We have learned that cleaning services should not be "business-as-was-usual" but based on "Predictive Cleaning." Predictive Cleaning uses occupancy data to design and respond in real time to the ACTUAL cleaning needs of your facilities. Collecting and analyzing real-time occupancy data means service can be anticipated rather than waiting for gaps to appear that generate complaints. Better cleaning technology implementation can be provided that improves service quality through a smart use of people, robotic tools, sanitizing and disinfecting solutions that combined offer better office hygiene. This is why we call it Predictive Cleaning.

In the interim period office lease space will be larger than hybrid staffing requires, and all the services need to adjust to the new lower occupancy by thinking better. Most cleaning companies are stuck in the past and struggling with a minimum-wage mentality of repetitive cleaning tasks that are no longer responsive to the hybrid office. It is possible and necessary to change cleaning services to a predictive model. You need service partners in cleaning, food and beverage, events and workplace hospitality that are excited about the future office not running scared. We Serv.
