These hashtags guide conversation and spark dialogue about real change. They represent emerging themes we have discovered in our research on chal- lenges people and organizations face amidst disrup- tion. Our partner Herman Miller is a research and design company. It has created a scenario planning workshop to help guide dialogue about the future. #Bounce_Back_Better Leaders are building their businesses stronger with resilient capacity. Resilience turns challenge into opportunity for growth. Herman Miller has built a framework based on People, Process, and Place that outlines its vision for the future, fosters a deeper dia- logue with customers, and builds resilience to better prepare organizations for what's next. #Working_for_the_Whole_You The People, Process, Place Framework must begin by putting people's needs and comfort first towards creating a total work experience, whether remote or co-located. While everyone's current emphasis is on security (health, safety, familiarity, trust, and competence) the human need-sets will quickly transition to autonomy (seeking freedom in our actions and decisions) and belonging (building meaningful connections to oth- ers). Prioritizing workplace decisions by the work people perform every day will create workplaces that are safer and more effective. Aligning every element of a place to support the emerging needs of people and process is our expertise. #Workplace_is_ Everywhere Distributed work is the new reality. 77% – the percentage of people who want to con- tinue working from home at least once a week 6% – the percentage of people who don't want to work from home at all in the future 3/4 – the number of days per week employees with the highest engagement rates spend working remotely The challenges of distributed work range from team collaboration to leadership and equitable work process support. We know a dynamic workplace will be resilient when it: • Builds community • Provides equitable experience • Reinforces organizational purpose • Enables effective work We can help ensure your workplace network – office, home, and spaces in-between – is a powerful tool for building resilience. Work from Home (WFH) Program Let us help you establish best practices for working from home, monitor the effectiveness of your WFH program, connect people and leaders with WFH train- ing, and provide ergonomic home office solutions. Crises are opportunities for change. We encour- age our clients to seize this opportunity to cre- ate something new, different, and better for their organizations. We hope to move beyond Band-aid product solu- tions and plexiglass barriers. Let's begin shaping a new and modern workplace.
