In an era of rapid workplace evolution, JLL Belux has embraced the future by implementing flex office and new ways of working in its cutting-edge headquarters. This bold move reflects a growing trend that has taken root across industries worldwide.

For instance, in France flex office adoption increased from just 8% of office workers pre-pandemic to 26% today. (source : JLL France, le flex-office une réponse aux enjeux de son temps – 2024)

Flex office, characterized by non-assigned workstations and a diversity of work environments, has emerged as a powerful solution to the challenges of our time. It addresses the new paradigms of financial management and evolving work organizations, while also responding to employees' changing expectations about how and where they work.

Hand in hand with flex office comes the concept of hybrid work, which JLL's research shows that employee preference for days in the office is at 3,4 days per week in Belgium (source : JLL research Is hybrid really working 2023). Despite the shift to hybrid work environments, employees still spend a significant portion of their office time on individual tasks, with 51% of time in hybrid offices dedicated to individual work.

This shift towards a more fluid, adaptable workplace isn't just a passing fad; it's a strategic response to economic pressures, the push for sustainability, and the undeniable transformation in how we view the role of the office.

As JLL Belux charts this new territory, they're not just changing their space – they're reimagining the very nature of work itself.

Let's explore how JLL Belux is writing the next chapter in the story of modern work...

JLL Belux's implementation of flex office and new ways of working aligns closely with their sustainability goals. The M10 building itself boasts exceptional sustainability achievements, including BREEAM Outstanding and CO2-Neutral certifications. This aligns with JLL Belgium's trajectory toward achieving carbon neutrality on scopes 1 and 2 by 2030.

The flex office approach contributes to sustainability efforts by optimizing space utilization and reducing the overall footprint needed for operations. Additionally, by supporting hybrid work models, JLL Belux is helping to reduce commuting-related emissions, further lowering their environmental impact.

To support their new flex office and hybrid work model, JLL Belux integrated cutting-edge IT solutions. This includes innovative hybrid meeting rooms and immersive welcome screens, facilitating seamless collaboration between in-office and remote workers.
