Today’s office has many dimensions, but it should always be driven by a clear business strategy. I had a fantastic conversation with Bob Fox about our shared insights on workplace strategy and experience. Together, we explored my Three Pillars of Workplace Success and how they can help organizations design spaces where people truly want to be:
▪️ Connection & Community – What makes an office a destination, not an obligation?
▪️ Wellbeing & Sustainability – How do we design for six generations in the workforce?
▪️ Evolve & Adapt – Why isn’t flexibility just an option—it’s essential for business success.
We also dove into the impact of AI, the nuances of workplace design, hospitality, and the critical role of strategy in shaping the future of work. If you're in facility management, workplace strategy, HR, or corporate real estate, this conversation is rich with insights you won’t want to miss.

These Organizations Are Bringing Employee Appreciation to the Forefront of Office Design
No matter where someone works, a positive work environment provides a number of benefits to the overall work experience.
Excellent workspaces have a direct effect on employee satisfaction — and by extension, other elements like productivity, employee retention and a stronger hiring pool. According to the Fellowes Workplace Wellness Trend Report, 93 percent of tech industry employees would extend their stay at an organization that offered healthier workspace benefits — like fitness stipends, ergonomic seating, sit-stand desks and wellness spaces.
To attract and retain top talent, tech businesses are laying a foundation of employee gratitude into their new office spaces, providing amenities to make their employees feel valued every time they enter the office.

Jess Klay, senior director of design and creative, said the company considered 40 different locations when contemplating a move from 144 Turnpike Road in Southborough. Globoforce chose the 55,000-square-foot Framingham office because its central location between Boston and the suburbs made the office easily accessible for Globoforce’s Massachusetts-based employees, Klay said.
“The office at 200 Crossing Blvd. has been designed with the whole human in mind, focusing on how our people live, work, and interact with each other every day,” Klay said. Design elements of the new office include a vibrant color palette; myriad plants to improve indoor air quality; materials such as wood, glass and stone; sound masking through white noise, plant partitions and felt walls; and ventilation and thermal control.
