Bisnow
GSA Leasing and Federal Real Estate Team Leader Robert MacKichan Jr. was quoted in a Bisnow article discussing the implications of President Donald Trump's executive order requiring federal workers to return to full-time in-person work. The mandate has raised concerns because many federal offices currently have low utilization rates and federal union agreements introduce other complexities. Mr. MacKichan noted these questions are top of mind for agencies and their workers.
"The biggest elephant in the room is the uncertainty that these agencies are up against as to what their utilization will be for their space and how many employees are coming back to work, what those requirements will be," he said.
