Day One

11:30 AM FutureForward: Hybrid and Remote Office Design Trends That Set the Stage for Employee Engagement and Retention for 2023

As companies continue to prioritize flexibility through both hybrid and remote working arrangements, current trends in office design including both home office and traditional office environments have emerged. From sustainable solutions to innovative collaboration and co-working spaces, modern office design is evolving to reflect the way top global talent is working now and, will want to work in the future, thus setting employees up for improved performance, engagement, and retention. 


The rising importance of asynchronous communication has positioned the modern office at the apex of technology, data, and workplace design. According to the Future of Work Consortium, which brings together over 100 global companies to research the future of work and work trends, the extraordinary impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the catalyst for a global reset on work for both talent and corporate leadership. The consortium is seeing hybrid and remote-first models become a unique opportunity to redesign offices to reflect this new change in thinking to work flexibility — a flexibility that allows for more agile, energy-efficient, and productive workplaces. 


Understand how commercial office spaces and residential construction are increasingly adapting to global talent’s new preference for hybrid and remote-first work models. You will learn more about: 


  • Sustainable and energy-efficient office design trends.
  • The connection between hybrid and remote office spaces that prioritize health and wellness and employee engagement and retention. 
  • What collaborative workspaces of the future will look like?
