Over 60 guests from a range of influential organisations gathered in The Shard to hear the
latest insights on creating thriving workplaces. For the first time ever, workspaces are
hosting colleagues across five generations: the most diverse range ever seen.
Dr Redmond“Effective workplaces prioritise attention. Attention is a superpower that
we are losing. Designing a workplace so that people can pay attention is the biggest gift that
you can give your workforce.”
Phil Bentley“Here in The Shard we have a modern, iconic showcase for the best of FM. It’s
flexible, has good lighting and ventilation. The Shard supports our team to do their best
work…In Mitie we believe the workplace is more than a location. It is a growth engine, a
catalyst for culture, shaping ambition and aspirational change.”
Sarah Tait“In Workplace Experience our role is to bring the office to life. How do we create
spaces where colleagues feel like they belong? As humans we’re actually quite simple – we
want to feel safe, that we belong and we’re part of something wider. The challenge is
creating that ‘sitting around the campfire’ feeling in the workplace.”
