On November 14, 2024, at the Bakata Design showroom in Warsaw, Bertie Van Wyk, Insight Specialist at MillerKnoll, will discuss how the concept of “Design with Impact” is revolutionizing workplace design.
Bertie will share insights on how thoughtful office spaces can support employee well-being while helping organizations adapt to changing conditions.
There’s been much discussion about how the world of work is evolving. But let’s focus on what we can do to ensure these changes have a positive impact. Today, we have a unique opportunity to redefine the role and function of workplaces. MillerKnoll’s approach fosters a sense of community, addresses employees’ needs, enhances well-being, and supports organizations in navigating transformations, preparing for future changes, and designing spaces ready for tomorrow.
At MillerKnoll, we call this approach “Design with Impact,” which is based on three key pillars: Wellbeing, Connection, and Change. These principles support the growth of both individuals and organizations.
Key Topics to be Discussed:
- Why wellbeing matters: How to support the physical, social, and cognitive development of employees.
- Building connections: Creating a sense of belonging in an increasingly dispersed workforce.
- Designing spaces for change: Crafting environments that not only respond to changes but also empower people to embrace them.
- Impact on workplace strategy: What this means for workplace strategy and design.
The event will provide an opportunity to discuss how these concepts influence organizational strategies and workplace design. Focusing on the needs of people in today’s dynamic work environment, we will show how “Design with Impact” fosters community and continuous transformation. We’ll also explore strategies and tools to give deeper meaning to your workplace.
