Looking Forward to The Future of Work
How can we better understand the future of work and its impact on our places of work?
In this webinar you will learn about 3 important shifts our Global Research and Insights Team identified after a six-month virtual listening tour, entailing more than 160 conversations with leaders from a range of industries as well as real estate and interior design firms.
It’s an opportune time for us to collectively elevate the conversation about hybrid workplace strategies and re-frame the value of corporate real estate. We will share insights about promoting equitable work experiences as well as creating belonging through inclusive workplace design
There’s no place like home… or is there?
In this interactive webinar we will examine the results from Herman Miller's 21,000+ responses to our global home working survey, along with other key findings on the changing sentiment towards home and office work.
Throughout the session we will dispel 7 myths of the post-crises workplace and explore the differing quality of working from home experiences. By the end of the webinar you will leave with a good grasp of what these learnings mean for you and your business, and what to expect from working policies in the future.
From Office to Everywhere - What's the Future of the Office?
The challenges of 2020 have precipitated many questions about the purpose of the workplace. Why go into the office when you can avoid the commute and stay comfortable and productive at home? Why maintain corporate offices when you can instead support distributed work and save money on real estate? Even pre-pandemic, organizations were asking these questions — and COVID-19 has rapidly accelerated the conversation. We’re excited about this course toward a more distributed model of work— one where the office will continue to play a critical role in helping organizations achieve their desired business results. In fact, we’ve been preparing for this new way of working for a long time.Now we want to help you further explore the shifting purpose of the workplace and gain a clearer perspective on why the office will remain relevant far into the future.
Workplace Experience and the impact on Workplace Design
How are the changes in the experience of work impacting workplace design and management?
We are running these interactive sessions with the real estate and design communities that are thinking critically about these ideas and the challenges they bring. We look closely at the areas of People, Process and Place - and how these 3 areas are being impacted by ongoing change.
The Tech-Healthy Workplace
This webinar provides an overview of how organisations can improve the fit between employee and technology and make employees feel better and stay healthier and more productive at work.
By providing ergonomic tools that support people as they use technology, by understanding some of the physical, social, and cognitive issues related to the use of these tools, and by designing based on the needs of people and their work activities early in the design process, organisations can improve employee health, engagement, and productivity.
Team Landscapes - Using design to support team working
Supporting team collaboration remains critical for leaders looking to drive optimum performance in their organisations.
Designing the best environments for group work begins with understanding the unique needs of different types of teams. The requirements of each team can (and should) be supported by bespoke combinations of sensory design elements which help to sustain energy levels and align with the tasks at hand - meaning teams are equipped to work to their best capacity!
Drawing on research conducted by Herman Miller, this seminar introduces four distinct team types and offers practical design considerations for supporting the dynamics of each.
The Resilient Campus
At a time when higher educational institutions are seeking unique competitive advantages, strategic initiatives informing space design, people, pedagogy and processes are critical to the success and wellbeing of staff and students. To remain relevant, the physical campus still needs to build culture and community, support individual focus, workplace readiness, sense of belonging for students, and facilitate teamwork whilst combatting isolation. This seminar will spark ideas for your “Living Campus” in a post pandemic world.
