Lendlease launches software platform for workspace optimisation

SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Lendlease has launched a software platform designed to help real estate owners and tenants optimise space usage within offices. The platform, called Podium Property Insights, was launched in partnership with Accenture and Google Cloud.

“The Podium Property Insights software tool creates personalised insights and recommended actions to inform future workspace decisions and drive improvements to employee satisfaction,” Lendlease states in a Sept 7 press release.

The platform measures metrics including employee satisfaction, space utilisation, health and safety, and sustainability, based on data collected from sensors and surveys. Pilot projects using the platform have been rolled out in select locations, including Accenture’s Singapore office and the CSuites flexible workspace at Lendlease’s Paya Lebar Quarter.

“The previous workplace model is no longer sustainable, and we are all moving forward with dynamic, personalised experiences in order to attract and retain top talent. Podium Property Insights is the digital platform that will transform workplaces to meet today’s business needs,” says William Ruh, CEO of Lendlease Digital.

Amit Basal, Accenture’s managing director, applied intelligence execution and data led transformation for growth markets, echoes the sentiment. “Companies need strategies for new hybrid work models to ensure all employees have a safe, productive and efficient environment wherever they work at any given time. Lendlease’s platform will give companies the insights to inform their new workplace strategies.” As the go-to-market partner for Podium Property Insights, Accenture is working with Lendlease to develop the platform and define its use cases.

Meanwhile, Google Cloud’s clients and partners will be able to access Podium Property Insights on the Google Cloud Marketplace. “Together, we will make it even easier for workplace managers to create workplaces where people truly thrive,” says Johann Kruse, Global Alliance Leade for Lendlease at Google Cloud.
