Office Empathy

As we look toward a post-COVID future, what does returning to work look like? How companies should approach it continues to be unclear. NELSON Worldwide set out to understand how individuals have responded to the sudden change in our work styles and work environments. The architecture, design, and strategy firm conducted a survey to determine the impact COVID-19 has had on work performance. We spoke to Barbara Riekse, Workplace Practice Leader at NELSON Worldwide, about the survey, their findings, and what they mean to companies who are welcoming employees to the offices, and to design firms who are helping those companies optimize their office spaces.
