Our office buildings are in the spotlight. The demand is for hybrid working, enhanced wellbeing and a net zero impact. So, how can buildings be re-imagined to help people work smarter not harder, and also have less environmental impact and greater value as an asset?

Join us to hear a panel of experts from across the property sector debate what this means for developers and occupiers alike.

In our 45-minute webinar discussion, we will explore:

• What will new, hybrid ways of working mean for the design of buildings?
• How can technology be embraced to enable smarter working and the reduction of carbon emissions?
• What practical steps can optimize the performance of office buildings in the face of such unprecedented change?

Our panel will explore the role that all stakeholders have in creating and maintaining this new workplace environment and the importance placed on this change by people – the users – and the investment community.
