The workplace is changing fast—are you ready?
Gen Z is redefining office culture. AI is transforming how we work. Hybrid isn’t going anywhere. In 2025, companies that don’t adapt risk wasting resources, stifling productivity, and losing top talent.
To uncover what’s ahead, Envoy partnered with Hanover Research to survey executives and managers across Workplace & Facilities Management, Physical Security, IT, Finance, and HR. The findings reveal a workplace in flux—shifting employee expectations, emerging technology, and the ongoing challenges of hybrid work.

- How Gen Z is reshaping expectations in the workplace.
- Why workplace budgets are growing—and where companies are investing.
- How workplace design is becoming a competitive advantage—and why leaders need real insights to optimize space and resources.
- How AI and automation are reshaping work—and why 76% of professionals say it’ll have the biggest impact in 2025.
