Workplace 2021 - thoughts

There is an emerging opportunity to use workplace design to promote a holistic state of well-being for people at work. When organisations provide work environments that support user control, natural elements and daylight, and changing postures, they directly address the physical and psychological health of people—enhancing engagement, creativity, innovation, and retention. As the boundaries between life and work increasingly begin to blur, the workplace is beginning to take on a new role, that of community, a town hall if you like, a place where an organisation's people congregate, socialise and build relationships rather than simply work. Efficient production simply becomes a positive inevitable outcome of such communities.
