History is littered with transitional moments which changed the way we
live, work and behave. In the past few decades, the introduction of personal
technology and the dawn of the internet have completely reshaped our view of
the workplace. But another dramatic and seismic shift is now underway–the age
of hybrid work is here.
As we gaze over the edge of this inflection point, we see an opportunity to
redefine productivity, collaboration and professional meaning. Organizations
today have an enormous opportunity to embrace emerging technologies, design
innovations, and social trends, and to completely redefine the individual’s
role in physical spaces at work.
The shift towards hybrid work is about more than practicalities like
convenience and cost efficiency. Employees, managers, and executives alike are
now re-imagining not just how and when they work, but the intrinsic meaning of
work itself. And with that comes a deeper examination of how the physical
surroundings of an office space can and should evolve.
