Val, Lu, and I are looking forward to sharing our thoughts on Designing Workspaces That “Work And Are Worth The Commute” at the March 8th SHRM meeting at the Rutgers Club. Join us if you can - it is sure to be an evening of lively discussion and debate.
Presentation Description
Make no mistake; employees have very different workplace expectations and needs in the post-COVID world. Traditional workspace designs are inadequate, and employees are demanding more. Seamless interaction spaces, proactive collaboration, and presence equity are now considered “minimum game stakes.” Employers must offer workspaces that are “worth the commute” to attract and retain the best and brightest.
During this session, we will:
Share current insights about designing workspaces that can bring out the best in people no matter where they are situated.
Share lessons learned in designing hybrid work environments that ensure “presence equity”
Outline why HR plays such a critical role in designing workspaces of the future
Describe how to build work environments that are “worth the commute.”
Learning Objectives:
Share current trends in post-covid workspace design
Examine the psychological and sociological considerations for workspace design
Outline Human Resources’ role in building inviting, collaborative, productive workspaces
