Digital Buildings: Creating A ‘Safe And Smart’ Workplace For The Next Generation
By Graeme Rees, Digital Energy Marketing Manager at Schneider Electric UK&I
An invisible revolution has been taking place, further fuelled by the
recent pandemic. A new generation is entering the workforce, which has coincided with a time of major change. To help businesses attract and retain the best talent, buildings and operations must be truly digitalised.
To achieve this, organisations will need insight and oversight over their assets, predictive maintenance, and real- time data immediacy. In addition to creating people-centric buildings, this will help businesses to cut costs and improve efficiency. With an integrated and comprehensive approach to building operations, businesses can keep staff and the bottom line happy.
The Times They Are A Changin’
The way companies work has been transformed over the past decade. The combination of new ideas, technological innovation and the influx of a new generation of workers has upended longstanding approaches to not only the way we work, but the expectations we have of the environments we work in. However, these changes stand to be amplified further as companies look to return to work, post lockdown.
As the needs and wants of staff changes, so too must the kind of buildings companies look to locate in. For most companies, buildings now need to provide much more than the traditional lease – they need to support business aims, help organisations attract the best talent, and energise and inspire their staff as well.
