From Surviving to Thriving: What do Office Workers Need to Succeed at Work?
The way we work has completely transformed — digital complexity, information overload, and SaaS sprawl have become constant realities of the modern workplace. Workers need reliable information to do their jobs effectively and efficiently, but they're often spending too much time searching for it. The result? Workers spend days looking for information — and up hours per week on duplicated work. Productivity is lost, employees are unhappy, and organizations fall behind.
Culture of Connection and Belonging
How do we ensuring employees feel energized through deep connections and intrinsic motivations so they can realize their full potential within their career.
How to Create a Purpose-Driven Culture
Does your company make the world a better place? Shareholders, employees, customers, and global citizens want the organizations they invest in, work for, buy from, or share the planet with to behave ethically, – and share a common purpose. Companies need to demonstrate that their business model is “net-positive”. This requires fostering an authentic organizational culture that is purpose-driven. Claire will share Gallup research and discoveries about the growing importance of purpose in today’s business environment and offer advice about how to create and sustain a purpose-driven culture.

What Workers Want
What is the future of our offices and our ways of working?
Gensler surveyed thousands of UK office workers to understand what is and isn’t working in the office today, and how to create a more compelling destination for employees. The data reveal that workers still value the office as a place to focus, and that they desire a diverse range of spaces to support work. This talk will explore how organisations can fine-tune their workplace recipe, to enable their talent to do their best work and use their office as a tool for transformation.
Experience Design - A Universal Foundation
For 35,000 years humans have been designing experiences to better forge connections across the tribe and to change the way we feel, think and act. And yet, today, as we lurch from crisis-to-crisis, businesses and governments, city-makers and brand-builders seem increasingly siloed in their response to rapid social change. I believe that experience design is the universal foundation for all design disciplines and the only way for developers and occupiers to properly meet the needs of the people they are designing and building for! Let's teach the world before it's too late!
