The Future of Work, Equity and Inclusion

Oliver Baxter (Insight Programme Manager at MillerKnoll) will share Herman Miller Insights about promoting equitable work experiences as well as creating belonging through inclusive workplace design.

“Inclusive design is an aspiration and a method for approaching the design of places, things, information, communication, and policy that focuses on user well-being. It assumes the full range of human abilities as ordinary and not requiring special accommodation.”

(Adapted from the Institute for Human Centered Design and the Universal Design Handbook).

This talk will cover three elements that will help organisations navigate a post-pandemic future:

– How to promote inclusivity and equity of experience with a hybrid strategy

– How to redesign office space to support three key ways of working

– How returning office workers will bring new expectations for controlling the experience of work
