Description
Earlier in the year, a report by academics at Cardiff and Southampton Universities found that a majority of people would like to continue working from home in some capacity, even after social distancing is no longer a requirement. But what would a permanent shift to distributed work look like? And what would it mean for organisational performance? This week on the Good Practice Podcast, Ross D and Owen are joined by Dr Kerstin Sailer, Reader in Social and Spatial Networks at University College London, to discuss: the relationship between workplace design and communication the implications of a more permanent move away from the physical office considerations when adapting existing spaces to allow for social distancing Show notes For more from us, including access to our back catalogue of podcasts, visit emeraldworks.com.
