8:30 am - 10:00 am Workshop A: Maximize Your Footprint, Maximize Your Impact

Stephanie Peters - Director, Workplace Solutions, Walgreen Co

When utilized correctly, real estate should contribute to business goals, employee wellbeing and community impact. Aligning your companiesโ€™ needs with business goals is essential to being successful in maximizing the bottom line and also providing your employees the space they need to be productive. For many this will be a living, breathing strategy given the flexible and dynamic nature of business needs in todayโ€™s market. Regardless of the size and scale of your company, it is important to understand how your footprint is serving the business and how this can be improved.

Analyze your portfolio to right size as needed including assessing surplus space, considering relocation and factoring in amenity add-ons

Evaluate performance metrics alongside space utilization and efficiency measures to understand how and how much of your space is being used (and at what level)

Hear best practices to align company goals with your greatest asset to address cost savings or investment goals, while still improving employee experience and enhancing the brand

How do you develop a strategy that allows you to scale and repeat successes, so you donโ€™t need to reinvent the wheel? Letโ€™s brainstorm together!

What if technology didnโ€™t just optimize buildingsโ€”but helped the people inside them thrive?
