Guest blog by, Leon Papkoff, CEO and Chief Strategist, The CXApp
Considering the rise of the gig economy, organizations are shifting focus to employee engagement in order to attract top talent, keep it, and inspire innovation. Employees want to be more than just a number. A company culture that is rooted in immersive experiences and putting the focus back on the employees wants and needs is where we’re seeing the focus shift to.
The way employees can move within and interact with physical ‘spaces’ has become a competitive differentiator for creating these immersive experiences. That means innovation and technology have to be integrated at a foundational level.
Each touchpoint an employee has with their workplace factors into overall sentiment be it digital, physical or otherwise.

Leadership Lessons from a 14-Year-Old CEO
Hillary Yip is not your average 14-year-old. In addition to attending school and surviving grueling academic demands on a daily basis, the ninth grader also runs her own business. Growing up as a digital native, Yip, like many other teens, understands the significance of keeping pace with innovation and the digital transformation. That tech-savvy mindfulness prompted her, at age 10, to launch an online social language learning app: Minor Mynas. The idea came to her after a long struggle to learn Mandarin.

Smart Buildings: Growing Focus on Occupant-Centric Workplaces
Guest blog by Daphne Tomlinson, Senior Research Associate, Memoori
One major trend reshaping the smart buildings market is the increased focus on occupant-centric workplaces, which has developed over the past few years. Organizations are looking for new ways to attract and retain the best people and empower them to be productive. Shifts in the landscape of work are driving a greater focus on occupant experiences and interactions with buildings. Although challenging to quantify, the impact of employee surroundings on business performance is receiving increased attention.
Today’s smart buildings enable occupants to:
- Personalize
- Find
- Optimize
- Communicate
- Conserve
- Control
- Secure
Other key trends include:
- With office densification rates increasing across the world, combined with evidence of poor space utilization and the expectations of occupants for more human and productive environments, the need for workspace management platforms to provide better insight into the repurposing of current workplaces has never been so urgent.
- While established green building certification schemes such as BREEAM and LEED have begun to cover aspects of health and wellbeing within their assessments, over the past 2 years we have seen other third party-validated assessments gaining traction in the market, including WELL, Fitwel and the Leesman+ certification.
These findings are part of a comprehensive new report from Memoori on occupancy analytics and in-building location-based services.
