Workplace: What is it six years after Covid?
Workplace: What is it six years after Covid?
Six years after the world was thrust into remote work, the workplace is still in flux. Is it a destination, a mindset, or something in between? From open-plan offices to hybrid hubs, from home studios to third spaces - what do we really understand about how people work best today?
In this one-hour session, we bring together leading voices from the world of work to examine what the workplace has become - and where it’s going. Is the post-Covid experiment over, or just beginning? What have we learned about people, productivity, and place? And can design lead the way in bringing clarity to a rapidly evolving landscape?
Whether you’re shaping workplaces or making strategic property decisions, this session will challenge assumptions, ignite new thinking, and leave you better equipped for what’s next. We will focus on the following areas:
- Define the current state of the workplace and what "hybrid" really means today
- Explore employee and employer expectations - and the design implications of both
- Unpack the role of architecture and interiors in building flexible, human-centric spaces
- Examine how emerging forces - AI, sustainability, wellness, EDIB - are reshaping the brief
- Aim to conclude with a framework for future-ready workplace strategies.
