Why Employees Don’t Want to Come Back to the Office | Dan Moscrop | Season 5
Better At Work with Cathal QuinlanShow Notes
What makes an office worth coming back to?
As businesses push for a return to the office, the bigger question is what people are coming back to. Somewhere that helps them work better, or somewhere to sit on video calls?
Cathal Quinlan is joined by Dan Moscrop, founder of workplace experience studio THEM, to explore how office design shapes company culture, communicates a business’s story and gives people a reason to make the commute.
They discuss why putting a logo on the wall isn’t enough, what other companies’ impressive offices can’t tell you about your own, and where to start when a full redesign isn’t on the cards.
In this episode: What makes a workplace worth the journey. How to bring your company’s story into its physical space. Why staff, visitors and new starters need different things from an office. How everyday frustrations reveal what needs fixing. Small changes you can make without a full office refit.
If you lead a team, shape company culture or make decisions about the workplace, this conversation will get you looking at your office differently.
