But strategic workspace reduction, coupled with <\/span><b>cost-efficient office solutions<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and intentional design, can actually strengthen organizational culture. Smaller, well-designed spaces create what workplace psychologists call &#8220;design intimacy&#8221;\u2014the sense that every area has purpose and every colleague is accessible.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A HCMC technology company reduced from three floors to one and a half at their District 1 location. Initially, employees worried about losing personal space. Six months later, internal surveys showed improved cross-departmental collaboration (up 34%), faster decision-making (26% reduction in approval cycles), and a stronger sense of belonging (employee NPS increased from +12 to +31).<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key difference? They worked with hospitality-led operators like Dreamplex, who understand that office design isn&#8217;t just about desks and meeting rooms\u2014it&#8217;s about creating experiences that employees want to be part of. Premium finishes, curated F&amp;B partnerships, wellness amenities, and community programming turned &#8220;less space&#8221; into &#8220;better space.&#8221;<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This matters for <\/span><b>employee experience in Vietnam<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and employer brand. When regional talent evaluates opportunities, they compare not square footage but experience quality. A thoughtfully designed 8,000-square-meter space with great amenities beats a sprawling 15,000-square-meter facility with dated infrastructure and poor utilization.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>The CFO and CHRO Alignment: Where Cost Reduction Meets People Performance<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common concern among CHROs is whether reducing office space might weaken company culture. In reality, when done thoughtfully, right-sizing can strengthen it. If approached superficially, it\u2019s just downsizing in disguise. But with intentional design and an effective operating model, it becomes a catalyst for cultural growth.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than focusing on square footage, companies are shifting toward quality of experience. Today\u2019s workplace should reflect a genuine care for people \u2014 a space where employees feel connected, supported, and inspired to grow.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12186&#8243; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gensler.com\/gri\/global-workplace-survey-2024\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #db4140;\">Gensler\u2019s Global Workplace Survey 2024<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, insights from over 16,000 office workers across 15 countries show that workplace experience impacts not only individual performance but also team cohesion and business outcomes. Gensler recommends measuring space effectiveness by how employees feel \u2014 not just by seat count or square footage.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oss.knightfrank.com\/hubfs\/Research%20Reports\/OSS\/Report%20PDFs\/Knight%20Frank%20Asia-Pacific%20Q4%202024%20Office%20Highlights.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #db4140;\">Knight Frank<\/span><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reports that office demand in the Asia Pacific region remains stable despite challenges in markets like China.
