  • What is Stay vs Go?

    At same point in your workplace journey, you will need to solve the stay vs go debate. Each business will need to approach their property decisions in a unique way to ensure they stay or go for the right reasons. When we talk about stay vs go, what do we actually mean?

    Stay = Office Refurbishment
    The term ‘stay’ in the stay vs go debate refers to when a company decides against relocating because their current space still meets their requirements but wants to refresh and update it.

    Go = Office Relocation
    The term ‘go’ in the stay vs go debate refers to office relocation. If you’ve exhausted all the options in your existing space or your lease is expiring, then it is time to move office.
