The Lasting Legacy of Covid: The Demand for Commercial Space, with Rethaa van der Berg
This week I speak to Rethaa van der Berg, a facilities manager working in the commercial rental space, to find out the impact that covid has had on the commercial office and shopping mall space, as well as how they have adapted during these times.
\n
\nCovid restrictions have changed the landscape of work environments with many companies downsizing office spaces and others allowing their employees to work from home indefinitely. This gave rise to an important question; will the overall demand for office and commercial space ever go back to what it was like pre-covid, and what are those working in the industry doing to adapt.
\nI brought in Rethaa, a facilities manager working in the commercial rental space, to help me answer these questions.
\n
\nDuring this episode, we speak about the legacy of Covid, how certain businesses were hit hard during the lockdowns while others found themselves in the perfect season to multiply their growth.
\nWe speak about why online shopping will not replace the need for malls, and how Covid has magnified our need for social interaction.
\n
\nRethaa holds an engineering degree and a MBA and has extensive experience in managing facilities for large corporates in South Africa. He also shares his personal story and his biggest secret to personal success.
\n
\nStay tuned, this is an episode not to be missed.
