The competition for talent has intensified in recent years, but the reasons why have shifted. Today, the real comparison employees make isn’t just between companies and salary, but the workplace experience and location on offer. This was a topic much debated at Savills panel discussion at the CoreNet Global Portfolio Management Partner Webinar that considered topics including the expectations on the workplace and how to attract and maintain the best employees.

More than ever, employees are placing factors such as hybrid working, culture and personalisation at the centre of their career decisions. Organisations that recognise and respond to these expectations could be better positioned to attract and retain top talent; the challenge is to create workplaces that offer an experience compelling enough to draw people in.

For many employees, a positive workplace experience is an expectation. The focus is shifting toward organisations that can provide predictability, personalisation and purpose, rather than simply offering a generic hybrid working structure.
