Workplace Trends 2018: People, Place, Performance • 22m
With Michal Matloň, HB Reavis
Cooperation, communication, connectedness. These are the words that you have probably stumbled upon when thinking about how to improve your workplace. Achieving effective collaboration is one of the most discussed goals of today’s business world. To achieve it, we are tearing down walls, mixing teams and testing innovative communication tools. This trend, however, also has an another effect. With more collaboration, there’s less time and space for focused, productive work. Drawing on multiple research results, Michal will tell you why we should focus on focus in 2019 and how to balance it with the need for connectedness.
Michal is a user experience specialist at HB Reavis, a real estate developer creating people-focused work and innovation ecosystems in European cities. With background in applied psychology, he’s exploring how our environment affects our thinking, feeling and behavior and what it means for the business world. In the past year, he was co-managing the process of research and design of new HB Reavis headquarters, as well as the change management process during this project.
