The New Workplace Experience: The Emotional Response to Space
Category
Office/Industrial
Endorsed by the Flex Space and Experience Council, this session will explore the drivers of today's high-performing workplace environments and challenge assumptions that the workplace cannot be a thriving, full-time destination. With data from the Gensler Research Institute's 2024 Global Workplace Survey and the 2024 CityPulse Survey, attendees will learn about the amenities and experiences that are drawing workers to the workplace and to downtown districts. Randy Howder, a regional managing principal at Gensler, will be joined by a landlord, a flex office operator, and an end-user tenant for an esteemed panel that will explore how the workplace experience is evolving to meet the needs of a post pandemic workforce that is requiring more than just places to focus and meet. The session will challenge conventional wisdom about workplace environments while highlighting the types of spaces, amenities, and services that are ushering in a new era of work in our cities.
