Join us on Wednesday, April 18th at FOX Architects’ Washington, D.C. office for our next Work Design TALK! We’ve teamed up with Leesman for a presentation on their recent research followed by a lively panel discussion. The event is sold-out but stay tuned for our recap!
If you follow the latest research behind what’s happening with workplace design, chances are you’ve read information compiled by Leesman. We’ve partnered with Leesman to share the latest thinking based on their extensive research portfolio, presented by Eleanor Forster. Join us on Wednesday, April 18 at FOX Architects new office for a compelling presentation followed by a lively discussion (and earn CEU credits as well!).
Leesman’s latest study includes feedback from over 250,000 employees across 2,000 workplaces. Utilizing this database, Leesman experts have identified five key factors that will influence decisions around workplace design and give us a better understanding of how space can enhance workplace performance and employee engagement. The discussion will be moderated by Work Design founder, Bob Fox.
