What is the Link Between Business Strategy and Workplace Design?

This article provides recommendations for workplace wellbeing when considering office (re)construction, layout, and design with a focus on human experience, digital drive, continuous innovation, operational experience, and financial performance.

Employers can consult the Future of Work’s recommendations:

• Start with your employees–Find out their needs and provide workplace solutions to engage and empower
• Consider sustainable design from the outset. E.g. green walls, reclaimed building materials; water and plant features, energy-tracking
• Engage a team of workplace professionals–Help balance plans, budget, design, and change management
• Keep mobility and flexibility at the front of mind–Spaces should be multipurpose
• Beadaptable–Spaces should be updated every two to five years
• Be bold, be courageous–Change may be protested but progress is necessary
