Opportunities to flex
Real estate | Hybrid work | Workplace
June 29, 2023 – Flexible workplaces have the potential to improve employee performance and make real estate spending more efficient. Many companies could be leaving such opportunities on the table, though, find partner Julia McClatchy and coauthors. For example, according to a survey of real estate and employee experience leaders, nearly all respondents agree that their organizations have created systems to gather employee feedback on the workplace experience. But only 16 out of 51 respondents say that their organizations have a playbook documenting how work is done.

Visual form
Matrix table of agreement statements.
Layout / body structure
The chart is a single wide matrix read left to right across workplace practices, with each practice shown as its own statement column and the agreement legend running across the top.
What is being compared
It compares how respondents rate their organizations on a sequence of flexible-work and workplace-experience practices, from listening to employee sentiment and climate risk to training, governance, testing, and documenting how work is done.
Measurement system
The measure is share of respondents by level of agreement, using strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree, and a net-agree marker rather than a single numeric axis.
Visible structure inside the graphic
Each practice is written as a text block inside its own vertical lane, the agreement legend defines the response categories, and the table-like layout lets the reader scan which capabilities are basic, advanced, or still uncommon.
Main takeaway from the visual
The structure shows that many organizations have the foundational listening and workplace-support pieces in place, while the more operational disciplines, especially repeatable playbooks and testing processes, are less complete.
Key standout values or extremes
The source text anchors the weakest end of the matrix with only 16 of 51 respondents saying their organizations have a unified, easily accessible, and up-to-date playbook documenting how work is done.
