Does the office have a future?

In the Balance

Available for over a year

Thanks to technology, these days it鈥檚 possible to work almost anywhere. You can log on from your kitchen table, in a trendy caf茅 or even on the beach. So what鈥檚 the point of the noisy, crowded office? Perhaps it鈥檚 time we ditched the daily commute and found better places, and better ways, to get the job done. Manuela Saragosa has been discussing, with her three guests, just what kind of spaces we鈥檒l be working in in future, and whether the office has some redeeming features after all. Contributors: Kay Sargent, director of workplace at architectural firm HOK Iwo Szapar, remote work advocate & CEO at Remote-how Stephen Wood, a specialist in workplace psychology and professor of management at the University of Leicester (Picture:Office worker.
