In today's digital age, the traditional office space is undergoing a significant transformation. While remote work has become prevalent, the office remains a crucial space for staff to interact with each other. As a global leader in real estate services, JLL recognizes this shift and offers innovative IT and AV solutions to make offices relevant to the modern workforce – with a single point of coordination for technology design consulting.
“The JLL team did an excellent job of designing and implementing the latest workplace technologies that provide high-impact user experiences. Deploying these solutions ensures strong collaboration and productivity for our staff.”
Creating a Smart Office
The pandemic has accelerated the need for office spaces to evolve, and it is essential to focus on high-impact areas that cater to employees returning to the office. By leveraging new technologies, organizations can create environments that enhance productivity and collaboration.
One of the smart offices’ key principles is the emphasis on user-centric design, providing comfortable and productive spaces. For instance, mobile access points can allow employees to use their smartphones as access credentials, enabling them to unlock doors, lockers, and even control elevator access. This seamless experience not only enhances security but also provides a frictionless process for employees by reducing touchpoints.
Another important element lies in creating adaptive spaces. A desk management system allows employees to book desks, browse availability across floors, and even receive suggestions based on preferences or team members' locations. This flexibility caters to the hybrid work model that many organizations have adopted, ensuring that employees can easily reserve workspaces whenever they are in the office.
One of the most innovative features of JLL's office solutions is the indoor positioning system (IPS). This technology enables location-based services within the office, allowing employees to locate colleagues, find meeting spaces, and even facilitate deliveries. These features can improve efficiency and foster a greater sense of connection.
“Productivity technology is a key part of our teams' daily operations, and ensuring the systems are intuitive to use and reliably “always-on” is crucial to our business success. The JLL team was an integral part of the successful development and deployment of these systems in our new office.”
Redefining Office Relevance
Collaboration is at the heart of office relevance. By integrating essential tools such as video conferencing platforms, room control management, and broadcasting signages, a firm can enable seamless communication between on-site and remote workers. JLL's commitment to creating intuitive and frictionless experiences is further exemplified in our solutions for smart parking and EV charging, which make office visit more convenient for employees and guests.
The importance of sustainability in modern offices is also higher as ever, and technology can further enhance it in the workplace by integrating smart climate control systems and energy-efficient technologies. By leveraging IoT sensors for monitoring environmental conditions such as light, temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, companies can optimize energy usage while ensuring optimal comfort for employees.
IT and AV solutions are at the forefront of redefining office relevance in the digital age. By focusing on user experience, flexibility, collaboration, sustainability, and innovative technologies, JLL is also helping organizations create office spaces that not only meet the evolving needs of the modern workforce but also drive productivity and engagement. As the workplace continues to evolve, our solutions ensure that offices remain a vital component in achieving organizational success, providing employees with compelling reasons to return to a transformed and technologically advanced work environment.
