Here’s a short trailer from the session

 

 

The session provides an exploration of factors beyond pure office redesign for the creation of more collaborative workspaces – we know that for organisations to achieve their full potential, the psychological motivations of all staff also need to be considered.

Given the scale of disruption the pandemic has caused, forward-thinking organisations are now seeking a deeper understanding of the full spectrum of elements that influence how we work effectively in the 2020s.

This webinar has been devised as a set of thought-starters, to encourage a wider range of considerations when figuring out the ideal blend of office and remote work for your organisation.

You'll learn:

  • Why blending the physical and psychological redesign of work and workspaces yields superior results
  • Why workspace customisation improves productivity and performance
  • How and where to get started
  • How the right analysis now will deliver enhanced results and longer-term organisational resilience

Description

  • The 2020 pandemic and ensuing lockdown triggered a universal pivot to remote working, as organisations battled to both comply with social distancing measures and maintain business continuity.
  • Vaccination programmes are finally allowing organisations to consider a return to office life.
  • Successive survey data shows that many people have no desire to return to the workplace full-time, preferring instead to blend remote working with office-based activity. This is known as ‘hybrid working’.
  • With no pre-existing blueprint for hybrid working, organisations must figure out their own optimal mix to accommodate it.
  • While workspaces are being reconfigured for fewer people in the office and socially distanced working, there are a wider range of considerations to consider when designing for the optimal post-lockdown ‘where’ of work.
