Materials manufacturer 3form has launched the Just Label, a nutrition label that evaluates socially just and equitable organizations. Reviewed and awarded by ILFI, the Just Label assesses 22 social justice indicators for companies to evaluate their policies, and provide transparency to employees and customers. Only 168 organizations, including 5 manufacturers, have published their Just Label.
The Just Label highlights 3form's commitment to their 400+ employees, with practices and policies that acknowledge the company's ethical values. Just acknowledges 3form's ongoing effort to create an equitable workplace, and further demonstrates their dedication to transparency.
To achieve the Just Label, 3form had to meet diversity and inclusion requirements across all locations, with over one-third of their workforce being minorities, and nearly one-third of their leadership team headed by women. 3form has been working towards becoming a Just organization for 20 years, with employee equity policies, benefit programs, and health and wellness initiatives across their headquarters and factories.
3form believes transparency is vital to creating a more equitable future, and the Just Label provides a framework for pursuing more equitable programming and employee benefits.

A companion to the previously released Trends Outlook Report, this State of the Interior Design report is filled with key information and statistics detailing the current state of the industry with implications and analytics on the entire workforce spanning from students to professionals.
Notable insights from the report include:
U.S. offices hit a notable milestone in January, with weekly average occupancy exceeding 50% of pre-pandemic levels for the first time since 2019 according to Kastle access data. While this may seem discouraging, it's important to note that buildings never achieved full occupancy before the pandemic, with most estimates hovering around 75-85% at best. Occupancy varies widely from city to city, with Austin and Houston regularly seeing rates above 60%, while San Francisco and New York struggle to cross the 50% threshold, with Friday's occupancy dipping below 30%.
It's critical for portfolios to measure occupancy across their assets and at each building. Companies need data about who is coming to the office and when to understand employee behavior and create the right spaces for collaboration and productivity. Access control data reveals which spaces are most popular in this new era of hybrid work, and the success of newly offered amenities.
Building teams can help tenants elevate their strategies for reinventing the office by simultaneously reinvigorating their own connections with tenants who may be at risk of churning. The data leads the way forward.
Employers are paying more attention to the desires of their workers in today's competitive labor market. A recent FlexJobs survey found that two-thirds of remote workers have no desire to return to the office. Remote work has become a realistic alternative to the daily office routine, and workers are not interested in returning. Investing in a flexible, remote-friendly work model can make company culture stronger, as it shows that the company values its employees' concerns. Failure to take action can have the opposite effect, resulting in lower morale and higher turnover, especially among millennial and Gen Z workers.
Embracing an employee-focused, remote-friendly approach to the workplace can't happen at the expense of other important business imperatives, like growth and security. Businesses are seeking "enterprise-grade" solutions as they map out their operational blueprints for the new normal.
