Survive & Thrive: The office is dead, long live the office!

The office is dead, long live the office!

 

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about many challenges for businesses, which is why Sussex Innovation in collaboration with Gatwick Dimond Business are running monthly webinars, focusing on areas of growth and opportunity during these uncertain times.

Is the office a relic of the pre-pandemic world or will workers be eager to return when lockdown lifts?

The pandemic kicked the majority of us out of our offices and into cramped bedrooms and cluttered dining tables as we hunkered down and waited for things to go back to normal. Working from home created challenges but also brought about new opportunities. Almost a year later, it is clear that people's mindsets towards where we work and how we work have changed dramatically.

This webinar will explore what returning to the office might look like in a post-pandemic world, how office space will have to adapt to people's changing needs, what we've gained from remote working and what we've missed out on. All attendees will receive an exclusive first look at our accompanying whitepaper the findings of which will be discussed by our panel.
