Mandate and context
In the wake of the pandemic and the rise of hybrid work models, a real estate firm specializing in office space sought to better understand how the return to in-person work affects productivity, team cohesion, and workplace appeal. The goal: to support an informed strategic positioning on the future of office environments in Quebec, while contributing to the broader conversation on downtown vitality and new modes of collaboration.
Implementation and solutions
VOLUME10 worked with the company to deliver a strategic assessment combining economic analyses, industry interviews, and international case studies. The outcome was a comprehensive report entitled The Time to Return, which presents a nuanced perspective on current trends, obstacles, and actionable levers to encourage a meaningful return to the office; one that fosters purpose, innovation, and collective performance.
Impact and outcomes
The report empowered the company to take a well-informed position on a pivotal issue in its sector, backed by robust data and insights tailored to the Quebec context. It now serves as a strategic reference to guide office space planning, steer investment priorities, and enrich public dialogue on the future of work environments.
