The rise of hybrid work environments brings opportunities for innovation. Many organizations are beginning to make changes to their design and use of the office, giving people more reasons to come into the office beyond “face time with management”.

This is where the concept of Workplace 3.0 begins; creating workspaces that take an innovative approach to adding is becoming common in many hybrid offices that have long-term leases.

Leaving empty office buildings to collect lease payments without use is simply not an option, particularly for the Federal Government.

With Workplace 3.0, organizations can create office spaces that cater to all employees' needs while ensuring it is accessible and functional, and Horizant is proud to play a role in helping private and public sector organizations get there.

We'll be speaking on this & more at this years Real Property Institute of Canada event November 30th!

Hybrid work strategies are a work in progress for many organizations.

Determining what works for their people, what doesn’t, who needs to be back in the office, who can be more remote, and the right balance to strike in setting office policies, the process is ongoing for many

Yet one thing remains true for all organizations - sign-up sheets for desk or room reservations and incident reports using heavy binders are inefficient and time consuming.

Being able to recall room reservations or track foot traffic in a hybrid office digitally is the way of the future – one that embraces Workplace 3.0 with data and sensor technology.

What is workplace 3.0? We'll be touching on this and more hybrid work concepts at this years Real Property Institute of Canada event at the end of the month!

Question time! Who oversees management of real property for the Federal Government of Canada?

Answer? Public Services and Procurement Canada.

This is important because real property management demand across both the private and public sectors have skyrocketed over the last two years as a result of organizations acknowledging the need for downsizing or overhauling their office space.

Managing office space or addressing how space is used in relation to important factors such as emissions and energy use is just one way that the federal government is working towards achieving its environmental goals. Digital solutions streamline this and make reporting data digestible.

Efforts to reduce emissions and digital are intertwined. Digital tools give us critical insights into our facilities and portfolios, as well as how systems perform over time. Only when armed with this information can real progress be made towards making a portfolio sustainable.

Green initiatives are being prioritized by organizations everywhere , and the Federal Government is no different.

It has pledged to be net-zero by 2050 with a focus on a number of greening government initiatives and making their portfolios sustainable will likely include the adaptation of tools to measure and adjust their emissions practices.

We'll be at this years RPIC convention to discuss sustainable portfolios and the workplace with our Federal Government partners.
