Join us on Wednesday, June 22 at Arcadis and CallisonRTKL‘s office in Washington, D.C. for our next Work Design TALK! Top designers will address topics like how design can influence the level of choice in a workplace, which furniture solutions allow for more choice by flexing to an employee’s needs, and why designing for choice will increase clients’ well-being and satisfaction at work. We’ll also look at the best ways to advise clients, whether through change management strategy or other tools, about adjusting to and utilizing a new space that supports a variety of places and ways to get work done.
