Before Covid19, the workplace was considered a typical topic for facility management. Now it has become a more crucial part of a company-wide strategy. As one of our keynote speakers says: “The post-mandatory-WorkFromHome world has become a conversation with the most senior executives.” In this session we will find out how hybrid working is changing the way we work.
The topic ‘working from home’ is hot, at every kitchen table, in every Zoom or Teams call. There are many ideas about the future of offices. It’s mainly about creating meeting spaces and whether office vacancy rates will rise or not. But what most find even more interesting: How are companies adjusting their entire business strategies, because of this mandatory Work From Home-reality?
It seems that workplace strategy has become a boardroom priority.
In 1,5 hours, we will be debating how the Covid19 has changed business strategy. We invite the audience to participate. Our three speakers will explain their vision to trigger thoughts and debate.
Hopefully opinions will clash, because honest disagreement still is a sign of progress.

The pandemic has upended much about how we work, and what comes next is neither the death of the office nor a return to the way things were. Instead, our new reality will be hybridity: working with employees who are co-located in the same physical space as well as employees working remotely. >>>>
We werken al maanden thuis. En waar de een het als prettig ervaart is het voor de ander de hel. Moeten we na corona terug naar de oude manier van werken? Of moet alles anders?
Kunnen die kantoren echt allemaal opgezegd worden? Dat riepen we euforisch in de eerste lockdown. Maar onderzoek laat zien dat we toch echt het grootste deel van onze werkweek naar kantoor willen. Hoe gaat het níeuwe nieuwe werken er nou echt uitzien na corona? Dat hoor je in deze Werkverkenners. >>>>
The rapid and unprecedented changes brought on by COVID-19 have accelerated the transition to remote working, requiring the wholesale migration of nearly entire companies to virtual work in just weeks, leaving managers and employees scrambling to adjust. This massive transition has forced companies to rapidly advance their digital footprint, using cloud storage, cybersecurity, and device tools to accommodate their new remote workforce. >>>>
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a massive switch from working at the office to working from home fulltime to minimize the spread of the virus. Although working from home has a lot of advantages, such as the increased flexibility and autonomy of employees, there are also many challenges. >>>>
