SPS and WORKTECH to Reveal Groundbreaking Insights from 2025 State of the Workplace Survey

Leading voices in workplace innovation from SPS and WORKTECH Academy will unveil key findings from the 2025 State of the Workplace Survey, a study capturing the perspectives of 570 office workers across the globe at WORKTECH San Francisco on October 9.

As a premier provider of Enterprise Workplace Solutions, SPS empowers organizations to elevate the workplace experience for both employees and clients alike through cutting-edge outsourcing strategies and services.

Dr. Chesley Black, SVP of Global Workplace Experience Strategy & Innovation at SPS, will join Philip Ross, best-selling author and futurist, to unpack the survey’s most compelling revelations:

• Global employee engagement has declined for the first time since 2020.
• Middle managers are three times more likely to report drops in productivity.
• Clear workplace policies drive engagement more effectively than mandates.

“Economic and cultural shifts are reshaping how employees view their relationship with work,” said Dr. Black. “As companies navigate hybrid models and redefine office culture, the workplace must evolve to meet rising expectations. We’re excited to share actionable insights that support real estate strategies and enhance client satisfaction. This is not theory—it’s a data-driven roadmap for thriving in the new world of work.”

SPS thought leaders will also be featured at upcoming WORKTECH events across Europe. Claire Ward, Chief Innovation Officer at SPS, will speak at sessions in London and Zurich this month, continuing the global conversation on workplace transformation.
