Designing for the Path Forward As students of the working environment, we must plan our offices around the strengths that have always been there, like bringing people together in physical space and supporting the kind of interaction and productivity not possible when working remotely. This course will explore the premium on better design with an emphasis on safe and flexible work. We can encourage an environment where employees can thrive by creating spaces, whether that be at home, HQ, Satellite, etc. that will give employees room to work in their own way. Participants will be prepared to help clients understand what’s important in this new fluid and hybrid world, exploring the five elements of fundamental problem solving in designing for the path forward. Learning Objectives • Consider the five elements of fundamental problem-solving in a design-thinking context: who, what, when, where, and why of work in a post-COVID world. • Review current labor trends along with locations and its necessary technology to support the work and its employee’s health and wellness. • Recognize how the traditional work schedule is being pressured and how employees will require agility and flexibility to thrive for their well-being. • Understanding why employees work, what motivates them, and why the emergence of purpose as a driving force is particularly compelling, given its overarching impact on all aspects of work, business, and health.
