And how great is the pressure to act in an ESG-compliant manner? Check out some of the results from the "Corporate Real Estate Management 2024 Trend Study".
Advantages and challenges of digitalization
The majority expect digitalization to improve processes, increase efficiency and reduce operating costs. For 34 per cent, new systems and digital tools fail due to a lack of user-friendliness and interactivity.
ESG not yet standard for every CREM department
Although most companies have a strategy for environmental, social and governance in place, the vast majority of participants report only partial integration of this strategy into their CREM department.
Dealing with artificial intelligence
43 per cent of respondents promote training and further education on AI for employees. The decisive advantages of AI for companies are increased efficiency and the automation of processes. 56 per cent also expect changes in work processes and job profiles.
