Over 80% of businesses across the Asia Pacific are seeking solutions to restructuring their real estate portfolios as the COVID-19 lockdown begins to ease amid a ‘new normal’ across the region, according to a survey by JLL.

Many are searching for alternative solutions to keeping their business operations including implementing modifications to their offices.

The Guide for Workplace Design Considerations report by the company describes some short-to long-term priorities, including space planning solutions, tech-enabled experiences and operational functions to help companies through the difficult process of re-entry.

The guide also describes ways corporates can re-assess their office footprint with decentralization scenarios or re-designs that can protect their businesses and people in the long run.

Potential measures include establishing private, enclosed workstations, fitting social and break-out spaces with labels or physical dividers, or even installing thermal imaging technology in the building lobby and reception areas.
