Beauty & the Budget: How Whole Foods & Gensler Build Work Environments that WOW Employees and CFOs

Budgets. We all have them and building workspaces that are not only beautiful and functional, but also don't break the bank is one of the most challenging yet rewarding aspects of the office design process. 

With that in mind, we sat down with 3 speakers from our upcoming Future Offices Spring, Sarah Dailey, Workplace Strategy + Design at  Whole Foods, as well as Sharon Steinberg, Project Director, and Vince Flickinger, Director of Design, both from Gensler, to discuss:

• The top factors that drive up costs during the build-out phase and beyond that every workplace experience leader should be paying attention to
• How they work with the customer to ensure work environments align with employee needs and prioritize workplace investments
• Creative solutions for reducing costs without sacrificing workplace experience
