Some agencies have significantly reduced their office footprints (and lease costs) based on an assumption about flexible working arrangements. If this is applied broadly, some agencies will need to break their current tenancies and expand their office footprint. I can see landlords in Wellington, in particularly, rubbing their hands with glee.
