Property specialists say offices will remain essential post Covid-19

CAPE TOWN – 
Offices will continue to be an essential part of doing business during and post the Covid-19 pandemic, even though their future at this juncture seems uncertain with so many working from home, property specialists said yesterday.
“Offices are critical to employee productivity and build a successful corporate culture. This is part of an effective talent retention and attraction strategy. Creativity, skill development and problem-solving also improves through group collaboration, which is best achieved in an office environment,” said Naeem Tilly, the head of research at Sesfikile Capital.
SA REIT Emira Property Fund chief operating officer Ulana van Biljon said: “Businesses need a place to gather and work – this will endure, but offices will evolve with changing times.”
