UnWork

Unworking: The Reinvention of the Modern Office is out today! This new book charts the evolution of the office and explores a manifesto for 'unworking' - unlearning old habits and creating new ones fit for an age of digital technology, design innovation & diverse workforces. Authors Philip Ross & Jeremy Myerson predict the office will become more sentient, social, elastic and personalized - a magnetizing response to people having a choice about whether or not to come to the office, whereas before there was simply no alternative. #Unworking #Workplace #Futureofwork Get your copy ➡ 📚 Amazon: https://amzn.to/3cwk5x9 📚 Waterstones: http://ow.ly/e5iT50JmKBE
