The pandemic and its aftershocks have changed the workplace and the workforce as we know it. One thing that’s here to stay: Hybrid and remote work. In today’s disrupted workplace, managers must adopt a fundamentally different approach to managing and developing their teams. In this session, Pablo will share Gallup’s latest workplace research, insights and best practices on the demands of the era of hybrid work globally, in Europe and in Spain.

The question has been circulated since the first week of the pandemic, and the use of new technologies has been an unstoppable challenge for the last couple of decades. An Experience Economy has driven the markets since the internet democratization, and with new codes for remote relationships, we can work and collaborate from anywhere, and still managing to be efficient and productive. With this in mind, we ask; What will the function of the office look like in 2030-2040? Will office be needed? What will be the value of an office to an organisation?

In this talk, we will delve into the methodology and key strategies behind the design process of the corporative spaces post pandemic. We will explore how structured participatory processes activate the collective intelligence and creativity of the organisation. Through inspiring case studies such as KPMG, ABB, Triodos Bank, Google and Laboral Kutxa, we will highlight the importance of taking a holistic approach that integrates organisational design variables, work methodologies, and corporate culture.
