Neoconnect: Worklife Lab 2020

This year in lieu of a live exhibition, NeoCon hosted NeoConnect - a series of online resources and events designed to virtually connect the NeoCon community. This was the perfect platform for Caroline Till, co-founder of futures agency FranklinTill, to discuss the future of work.

Since the coronavirus pandemic struck, we have seen many workplace trends that were already slowly on the rise, suddenly grow at an extremely fast pace. This point was highlighted by Caroline when she presented the Storeys Journal: The Worklife issue as part of the NeoConnect virtual program. 

In fact, the Storeys Journal - which was published shortly before the Covid-19 outbreak - had previously flagged that many physical workplaces were not keeping pace with the changes that were already rapidly becoming part of our everyday lives, such as remote or home working.

In her presentation, Caroline highlighted shifts in workplace trends that were identified in our pre-pandemic research and combined these with post-Coronavirus data to explore how and where workspace design is going next.

The Worklife Issue of Storeys Journal, produced by @TarkettGroup and @FranklinTill, was presented at the #NeoConnect 2020 virtual exhibition.
