In a world where securing top talent is a competitive business advantage, employers invest significant resources to recruit and retain an exceptional workforce. Well over half of U.S. employers planned to hire recent college graduates in 2016, and this trend is likely to continue. But as companies look to recruit talent from college and university campuses, they are overlooking an effective recruitment strategy that is theirs for the taking — the campus design itself.
By incorporating campus design concepts into the workplace, companies may gain a stronger foothold in talent recruitment and employee retention. Campus design strategies also support evolving work styles and enhance productivity. In fact, recent research suggests that collegiate design is the new driver for workplace design, but few companies know how to implement these strategies.
