‘Navigating turbulent times’ episode 14: ‘Remote working and workers’ attitudes: shining a light on our future workplaces’
Register your place now for ‘Navigating turbulent times’ episode 14 when our expert guests discuss the potentially game-changing findings from new IWFM research into workers’ experiences during COVID-19.
Following the onset of COVID-19 social distancing measures in the UK, IWFM commissioned YouGov to carry out two surveys – almost three months apart - for time-series research into UK office workers’ experiences, attitudes, and concerns regarding their current home-working arrangements and the eventual return to the workplace, amongst other things.
IWFM’s Director of Insight and Engagement, Chris Moriarty, will provide a data overview of the fascinating findings, drawing out key points of interest, key shifts in the data, and testing out some hypotheses and ideas as to what may be driving them, and what they might mean for the workplace and facilities profession.
Along with a panel of experts from the worlds of HR, technology and real estate, Chris will assess how these findings could affect how organisations support work in the future, the impact this could have on the real estate market, and discuss what workplace and facilities professionals can do to help lead their organisations through this change.
You can submit your questions live during the webinar or email us ahead of time via: [email protected]
