“How Academic Design Trends Are Reshaping the Workplace”

Overview:
Competition to recruit the best talent is fierce – is your workplace an ally in the fight? Our panel will share research on a new breed of workspace and collaborative environments that are being shaping by what new graduates expect from their future employers and how their academic environment has shaped how they collaborate and work. Through interactive case studies, we will analyze emerging models of open, transparent and technology-rich learning and work environments. Together we will investigate how generational shifts, cultural drivers and technology advancements are changing the workplace.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify specific drivers that are critical to attract the best talent and strengthen mentorship and collaboration across an increasingly dynamic and diverse workforce.
2. Understand best practices in creating places that foster community, culture, discovery, innovation and well being.
3. Articulate specific trends in academia that will influence the future workplace
4. Explore potential trends in both corporate and academic facilities and how they will influence each other.
