As the world slowly returns to physical workspaces, how should we rebuild them to be more inclusive with equity in mind, and to be culturally and psychologically sensitive for the people who will use them? To answer just that, check out our newest blog post that expands on all eight design tips from our recent series, Design Tips for Inclusive Workspaces.

Each tip focuses on elements of human-centered design (a CORE value for us here at ctrl+shift+space). From selecting furnishings for different body-types or space uses that are equal in value, quality and efficiency...to protecting those who are re-entering workspaces from being overwhelmed and overloaded, these tips teach us how to put people first using human-centered design.

When it comes to rethinking the ways we work, our friends over at SWAYworkplace know what’s up. The disruption to our daily lives during the pandemic caused many of us to adjust to working from home, finding ourselves trying to balance our personal lives – like homeschooling or video calls with a partner in the same room – with our professional responsibilities. As we leave old unuseful habits behind, how can we achieve flexibility and work as a lifestyle?
