Spaces for flexible working
Since our last Flexibility Seminar series we've
had a lot of continuing interest in Halbyn Rich's presentation on
rethinking the office in the context of flexible work.
So we're putting together a Seminar specially themed on
redesigning office space around new ways of working and the tools
that go with it.
Research and case studies have shown that very substantial
savings can be made by integrating property reduction and new ways
of working. But how do you know what to do and how to get it
right?
A practical focus
This seminar brings together experts and practitioners to help
you to move from theory to practice, dealing with the practical
issues of office redesign in the context of flexible work.
It will show how to:
- integrate office redesign with new ways of working
- audit space use to find your real requirements and to decide
how office space should be used
- approach the tricky issues of shared space and "hotdesking"
- set up home-based and mobile working, and how to meet the
needs of flexible workers in the office
- get everyone on board with the changes
- integrate IT and telephony requirements with office design
- address business continuity issues
- approach storage issues and the quest for the "paperless
office".
The seminar will include several numerous studies and many
opportunities to share experience.
