Introducing At Work: the 2022 workplace trends report
Workplace leaders around the world have faced unprecedented challenges over the last two years. They had to manage a cycle of office shutdowns and reopenings. They had to keep up with changing CDC regulations on workplace capacity and health and safety measures. They had to help employees and managers get accustomed to new methods of how, where, and when we work. And they had to do it all with little data or guidance. If you've played any part in managing workplaces during these uncertain times, you are now an expert in working in ambiguity. But after two full years of offices opening and operating amidst a pandemic, there’s now a wealth of data that we can analyze.
The only question left is where to find this information… Introducing At Work: the 2022 workplace trends report.

Inspiration and insights from workplace leaders
Looking at workplace trends on what has happened is only half the picture. Workplace leaders like yourself will be critical to leading your organization through future changes, so it’s critical to understand what others in your position are planning too. “Creating space for employees to come together to meet, build community, and foster deeper connections is more critical than ever. That’s what will make people choose the workplace. That’s what we workplace managers must aspire to build,” Tony Vargas, Sprinklr’s Global Head of Workplace, shares in the report. At Work captures how over 400 employers and workplace professionals think and feel about trends at work. Survey and interview participants ranged from Workplace and Facilities Managers to Head of People to Chief Operating Officer. The report dives into how these teams operate, work together, spend their budget, and measure their success. These are the folks who can provide the best insight into where workplaces are headed in 2022 and beyond.
