A recap of week 1 of WD Flex: Back to the Office featuring Calandra Cruickshank, Kate Lister, Ben Waber, Dr. Peggie Rothe and Bryan Berthold
To kick off our summer series with a comprehensive review of the workplace, we need the hard facts and data. What is really happening? Many of the survey results that you see have a bias – that promotes a specific interest. We have assembled the best research and data minds in the world that focus on talent, distributed work, use of technology, work patterns, and corporate office space. They present their observations and discuss the shifts that are occurring.
This session is loaded with great information – here are four takeaways as a preview:
- If you want people to come to your office – have good coffee
- know your audience
- use the right data
- take this time to fix what was broken before – don’t just go back to “normal”
