Collaboration and productivity

According to the research (and Zoom happy hours the world over) we’re putting in longer hours, attending more meetings but doing less good work during all that time at the kitchen table—“half-work,“ in the words of one of our guests. As we rethink the office, what role can it play in helping to restore balance? And what’s at stake if we don’t? In today’s episode, we’re joined by Cindy Fagen, Managing Director of enterprise software firm, SAP Labs Canada; Anne Helen Petersen, journalist and co-author of the forthcoming book Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home; and Jonathan Pearce, Executive Vice President, Leasing and Development, Office and Industrial, North America, Ivanhoé Cambridge.

Do you miss the office? What do you miss about it? What don’t you miss? Pre-pandemic, the workplace was in evolution, but after the last year, its entire form and very function have to be rethought and brought into the future. In this new podcast from real estate investment firm Ivanhoé Cambridge, a global roster of experts—architects, CEOs, organizational behavioralists, data scientists and more—wrangle over the future of the workplace. What do we want from an office? Lead by workspace design expert Annie Bergeron, they'll talk about tech and productivity, collaboration and community, and why it's so important you feel good at work.
