Mind the (workplace) Gap: From Boomers to Zoomers! Another of the thought-leading presentations lined up for the Workplace: The User Experience conference on 15th October at the British Library. This session with Iain Shorthose (Paragon Workplace Solutions), Jo Cameron (Devonshire), Natashia Christian (CMI Workplace Ltd), and Alan Durward (The Scottish Parliament). It’s estimated that in 2024 Gen Z will outnumber Baby Boomers in the workplace and by 2030, they’ll make up 30% of the workforce. Are employers truly prepared for this change, and what do we need to consider for this transition? One generation coming of age and replacing another in work is something we’ll all experience in our working lives over and over again. But this time it appears to be a cause for real concern amongst some business leaders. Join Iain Shorthose and our panel of experts to explore the expectations of this younger generation of office workers. Last of the early bird tickets are available at https://lnkd.in/d55X_knR

Another intriguing session at our upcoming "Workplace: The User Experience" on 15 October is The Multi-Generational Office: Storytelling and Repositioning the WPP Workplace, with Tom Helliwell of BDG architecture + design. London is the only international city where the youngest workers are in the office the most*. Post-pandemic workplace practices are now settled in and the younger generations are embracing offices as opportunities for learning, connecting and socialising. So how do you create a modern large-scale workplace that caters to multigenerational needs? How can you make the workplace commute-worthy for older generations to encourage them to connect with their younger colleagues? BDG Architecture + Design has transformed One Southwark Bridge (completing Autumn 2024), the former FT Headquarters. This landmark office for WPP offers space for work but also a hospitality-focused amenity offer which incorporates event space, client entertainment space, a canteen and cafe, library and communal breakout space. The team uses a research-led approach to design, engaging with the client through storytelling workshops to ensure that the repositioning of the workplace goes beyond the building itself to create an environment that supports a multigenerational workplace.

The Realities of Office Space Utilisation – Hodan Aden, Empire AI We're delighted that Hodan Aden is making the journey from Oslo to speak at at our Workplace: The User Experience Conference on 15 October at the British Library. Hodan will share key insights from an AI analysis of 160,000 data points on office space utilisation in Norway and Sweden. The findings reveal a significant disconnect between perceived and actual office space usage, highlighting that 64% of office rooms remain unoccupied during work hours. Additionally, while 78% of meetings involve four or fewer participants, only 28% of meeting rooms are appropriately sized. These insights will be valuable for anyone involved in workspace planning, demonstrating the importance of data-driven decisions to improve productivity, well-being, and resource efficiency.

It's often said that men and women have different verbal communication styles. For women though the differences can have profound implications, especially in the workplace.    Countless published research papers and popular press articles verify that many women struggle to be heard in the workplace, particularly in meetings and in the boardroom.   On the 15th October Paige Hodsman of Saint-Gobain Ecophon UK and Ireland will present the findings from recent research at the Workplace: The User Experience Conference in London. This research identifies four key reasons why some people's, particularly women's, voices aren't heard. She will also share potential solutions. This session will be followed by an open discussion with the audience who can share their own experiences.    Find out more about this and our other cutting-edge sessions and book your seat at https://lnkd.in/edvzrwYP #workplace #workplacedesign #officedesign #workplacemanagement #facilitiesmanagement #womenatwork #womenintheoffice #equalityintheworkplace #diversityandinclusion #diversity #leadership #genderequality #careerjourney #equality #inclusion #equity #diversitymatters #womeninbusiness #humanresources
