The Workplace of the Future: An Ideation Session

Just how different will tomorrow’s workplace be? Today, the lines between work and life are increasingly blurring. There are many human capital, macro-economic and technology trends that impact the workplace, including how people are employed, such as through the gig economy; newly built environmental standards, such as the WELL Building Standard, that consider the people in the workplace in all aspects of building design and operation; a workplace culture focus on diversity and inclusion; and technology trends that include artificial intelligence and robotics. In this interactive session, you will play the role of futurist to design the workplace of the future with employee well-being as a foundation. You will work in three “thinking spaces" focused on physical space, employee experience, technology and culture.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify human capital management, technology and social trends that impact the workforce and workplace.
• Identify how the workplace can be designed with employee well-being as a core element.
• Identify how idea generation techniques can be used to gather viewpoints and qualitative data.
