The Mandate Mirage: 2025 Workplace Futures Survey

Choice unlocks productivity

The 2025 Workplace Futures Survey found that flexibility is most effective when it is paired with intentional workplaces. Respondents who could adjust their daily routines reported a 28 percent productivity lift, even while spending fewer days on-site.

Designing workplaces for belonging

Survey participants highlighted moments of cultural connection as the biggest draw back to the office. Design is acting as a catalyst, shaping rituals and events that celebrated shared values and created a sense of belonging even on hybrid schedules.
