An article in Australian Design Review explores findings from the Spaceful Workplace Insights Report 2026, which reveals a strong link between workplace design, employee satisfaction and organisational performance.
Based on responses from more than 1000 employees and 200 business leaders, the research shows that 88% of organisations that invested in workplace improvements saw productivity increase, while 65% recorded lower staff turnover. As Spaceful Workplace Strategist Emma van Kool notes, the data reinforces that “the office is a strategic asset, not a cost line.”
Importantly, the article points to a time-limited market opportunity: current commercial property conditions present a rare chance for organisations to secure high-quality workspace before vacancy rates tighten.
