Return to the Office
Join Chris Hulme of Influential and guests as they discuss how they each adapted to lockdown and how they see the future of their individual offices looking.
Chris, Norman and James will be discussing the following topics:
- Is hybrid working here to stay?
- What are the challenges of agile working (young people; training; loss of culture; social mobility/inclusion; performance management; anything else?)
- How do workspaces need to change?
- Implications re attracting talent – agile working is popular but does it create divides/exaggerate the ever-loosening ties between employer and employee?
- Winners and losers– shape of city centres if business district ecosystems shrink; impact of falling office rents on development budgets; health benefits; carbon reduction benefits
