Community in The Office: Why does it matter?

The Spaces to Places: Voice of the Customer 2025 report makes one thing clear: people come to the office for connection.

When 60-70% of team members are present, around 90% of employees find real value in being there. Below 60%, they question the purpose; above 70%, FOMO drives voluntary attendance.

Demographics highlight different priorities:

• 18-35 year olds: 77% are willing to coming in more if the conditions are right, with a preference for social spaces and events
• 25-44 year olds: Collaboration and team connections are top motivators
• Wellbeing matters: 39% of tenants prioritise healthy, supportive environments.

Humans Are Social Creatures – even at work

Community isn’t a nice-to-have anymore. It’s essential. It drives collaboration, wellbeing, retention and innovation. Offices that foster belonging and connection don’t just house teams; they energise them.

Designing for Connection

Thoughtful design and management shape how communities thrive. Collaborative zones, inviting common areas and tenant-focused events all help people feel part of something bigger.

At TSP, we go further. At Cannon Green, we’re enhancing tenant services, curating events and building shared purpose. It’s about creating an environment people want to be in.

Building Modern Office Communities

• Events: From networking to wellness, experiences bring people together
• Design: Spaces balance collaboration with quiet reflection
• Services: Hospitality-driven solutions make life easier and more enjoyable

The modern office thrives on human connection. By understanding what tenants really want, and designing spaces and services around it, we turn offices into hubs of creativity, collaboration and engagement.

“Seeing an empty building transform into a vibrant community never gets old. It’s all about bringing people together, sparking connections, and making the space feel alive.”
