In today's show, I speak to Tim Oldman, Founder and CEO of Leesman, the world leader in measuring and analysing employees' experiences in their places of work.
Leesman helps organisations understand and measure how employees are supported in their workplaces, which has led them to build the world's largest independent benchmark of employee workplace experience - be that in their offices, their homes, or the spaces in between.
Tim's also recently written a book, Why Workplace, which explores the trends Leesman sees emerging and how it relates to business growth.
[It's also a really nicely designed product, by the way, which won't be a surprise to anyone who knows the company who really pay attention to aesthetics and experience.]
I loved this conversation with Tim, in which we covered a whole host of topics, including:
-
Why the starting point of workplace design is thinking about people, not the building
-
Why employees' homes are a great place to work – for certain tasks
-
How activity-based-working can help define how we create workspaces
-
How roles may change in the future depending on proximity to an office
-
How role complexity affects the time people spend in the office or remote
-
What other benefits come from working in person with others beyond collaboration
-
The importance of ‘why’ in the workplaces of the future
