ATLANTA, Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- In a survey of New York area corporate real estate managers conducted by CoreNet Global, the leading professional trade association for corporate real estate executives, businesses anticipate declines in productivity and a negative impact on some of their bottom lines, as the Republican National Convention meets in New York August 30 - September 2, 2004.

Fifty-six percent of the respondents tell CoreNet Global that the absence of workers in their normal workplaces will create a decline in productivity. Also, 29% of New York businesses, which answered the survey, say there will be a negative impact on their company's bottom lines over the four-day period of the convention.

While most respondents expect business as usual during the nominating convention, 25% are providing workers with the option to work from home, 22% are providing some sort of liberal leave and 6% say workers can report to alternative office space away from Madison Square Garden, where the convention is being held.
