The spaces we left when the first lockdown began, aren’t designed to facilitate a heavier emphasis of collaboration and community. Pre-COVID office spaces are too rigid, and not as adaptive and flexible as the employees they should be reflecting. Space innovators are realizing it’s now time to tip the scale from pre-COVID norms--such as offices that support majorly individual work--to post-COVID ideas and practices that allow space to be more social and most of all, employee-centric.
Join us as we address this complex challenge, as well as provide learnings, best practices, and key insights with two of the industry's leading experts in the future-of-work and office design space. Saltmine will host a moderated conversation between Kate Lister (Global Workplace Analytics) and Mark Wartenberg (Nike), followed by a live Q&A--the webinar will equip you with how to plan, design, and execute an employee-centric workplace.
Kate Lister is president of Global Workplace Analytics, a research-based consulting firm that has been helping organizations optimize flexible and distributed work for nearly two decades. She is a trusted source of insights about the future of work for news outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and dozens of others. As a recognized thought leader, Kate was one of only three witnesses invited to testify before a U.S. Senate committee regarding the potential for remote work in government once the pandemic ends.
