But beyond savings in corporate real estate, energy, lighting and even labour – leading companies undertook ABW program because of its ability

• to support business growth and objectives,
• create brand differentiation, and
• drive talent retention and attraction.

Adoption of ABW is not just about cost. (Cost was not identified as a main driver but rather a by-product of the strategy.)  ABW is about the workplace catching up with the way people work and live their lives, powered by technology and connectivity.
