Workplace Design, Post-Pandemic (Back to Work, Better)

Anne-Laure Fayard, associate professor at NYU’s Tandon School of
Engineering, was studying the effects of workplace design on
employees long before the Covid-19 crisis. Now, she says, the trend
of flexible schedules and hybrid offices - where some people come
in, others work from home, and many do both - is here to stay. This
means that businesses need to reimagine offices as places built
less for individual knowledge work than for learning,
collaboration, and culture-building. Fayard is the coauthor of the
HBR article "Designing the Hybrid Office."
