The Research That Changes Everything
Our comprehensive study of office-based workers across the UK represents a fundamental shift, moving beyond industry assumptions to understand what office occupiers actually want and need.
Key Findings:
* Three distinct persona groups drive 90% of office attendance decisions: Innovators (23%), Wellness Seekers (39%), and Maximisers (28%)
* Experience beats availability - Workers won't return simply because space exists; they return when the office experience is superior to alternatives
* Psychological targeting works - Marketing must move beyond features to address specific emotional drivers for each persona
* Hybrid patterns are permanent - The erosion of traditional work patterns means the office must compete with home working's comfort, control, and convenience
