The Unispace study, A Moment of Clarity - a survey of full-time employees across 14 markets - finds that employees are ready to perform, but workplaces are still holding them back.

"The office is no longer in crisis; it's in progress. We've gone from reluctance to rhythm, and the focus now is on getting back to basics," said Rob Frank, CEO, EMEA. "The message is consistent across Europe: give people calm, comfortable, customised spaces, and they will deliver."

From "storming" to "norming"

Since 2020, Unispace's in-depth surveys have tracked the workplace's journey.

The shifts seen mirror a well-known team development framework by psychologist Bruce Tuckman, which describes how groups evolve through four stages:

Employers must act now

Organisations that don't deliver the basics risk jeopardising both productivity and people. Employers must:

"If the workplace isn't working, your people aren't reaching their full potential and productivity is at risk," said Rob Frank, CEO, EMEA . "The fundamentals matter more than ever, and employers that listen now will be the ones that thrive in 2030."
