Read it here first: Gensler’s 2008 Workplace Survey Links Office Satisfaction and Financial Performance
This article is for subscribers only.
I recently met with Diane Hoskins, executive director of New York-based architecture and design firm Gensler, whose clients include McDonald’s, Hewlett-Packard, and 3M, and she previewed Gensler’s new U.S. Workplace Survey. The study will be released tomorrow, on October 23. The firm has been conducting the survey since 2005, but this year Hoskins’ team looked more in depth at how the respondents’ companies performed financially and correlated this performance with how the respondents rated the effectiveness of their offices.
Gensler enlisted Added Value (owned by WPP) to conduct the survey of 900 office workers and managers in eight different industries.
