Will our offices look the same post Covid ?

 

In this first webinar of our Autumn series our panel discussed how our approach to planning and managing office space is changing, what office space we will really need and how firms are adapting to the new hybrid model by rethinking our relationships with our desks.

Neil Usher from GoSpace shared his views on the change as a driving for rethinking workforce planning while John Burgess from Grant Thornton highlighted how firms will reuse and reconsider physical workspaces inside the building.

Neil and John are delighted to be contacted by LSA members so do get in touch directly if you would like to find out more about their work on [email protected] and/or [email protected]
