Global property technology company, Equiem, has published the results of its most comprehensive global office occupier survey to date, providing landlords and tenants alike with valuable insights into occupier sentiment amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hosted via Equiem’s tenant experience platform, which is used by over 175,000 office workers worldwide, the study provides insights into the impact of COVID-19 on worker’s remote work situations, expectations for their return to the office and health and safety concerns. In addition, Equiem interviewed owner and managing agents representing over 20 landlords - adding further perspective of what systems, protocols and other changes landlords will need to implement in order for tenants to feel safe when they return.

Highlights of the study include:
