Email 204-461-6056COVID-19 has left a significant impression upon the workplace as we knew it. At every level, in every industry, the workplace has changed. It’s now even more flexible, healthy, and customized than ever before – even more resilient. Not only is it a safer environment for employees, for some, it the place for them to truly do their best work.
We’ve taken on the challenge of imagining what the future workplace might look like at three scales: the building, the office, and the workstation. In a recent survey we conducted about returning to the office, 88% of respondents are most excited to have in-person social interaction with their colleagues again.
