From the first London coffee houses to FabLabs, the ways and places we undertake work has always had a defining presence in our cultural landscape.
In a digitally transforming knowledge economy, an expert understanding of the relationship between work and place has never been more important.
Work&Place is a global knowledge base for people with a professional interest in the intersection of work with digital, cultural and physical space.
Since 2012, Work&Place has engaged the world’s most progressive workplace thinkers to explore cutting edge ideas about the ever-changing and transdisciplinary nature of work and place.
Work&Place is a global resource for people with a professional interest in the intersection of work with digital, cultural and physical space.
Workandplace.com is full of information, including the Bento Box series that explores a W&P subject in an article, podcast, video and downloadable PDF of the full article, and also a new section about Practitioners focusing their stories and insights.
Contributors and readers come from a range of backgrounds and offer a range of perspectives, but all share a common interest in the issues faced by organisations and people in the changing world of work.
Work&Place has a global network and operates on a sponsorship and advertising funded business model. We aim to deliver exceptional content, subject to the scrutiny of an editorial panel of workplace experts.
We do think about different types of work.
We think about the different types of work activity which people do today.
We think about the different places people go to do that work.
We think about Work&Place …..
And the more we think about these things, the more we realise the trans-disciplinary nature of ‘workplace’ (envisioning, design, creation, management and continuous change and adaptation).
The interconnectedness of these disciplines can be simplified into 5 ‘P’s:
People – psychology, human resources, recruitment and retention;
Process – ICT, service and product design, facilities;
Place – location, planning, real estate, architecture, interior design, construction;
Performance – C-suite (CEO, COO, CFO, CMO) and Analysts; Business Unit leaders; and
Programmes – Projects, and Change Management; marketing; customer retention.
We search for practitioners with well researched and thought-provoking ideas to collaborate with Work&Place. We invite articles showcasing real-world best practices; insightful case studies; innovative techniques or technologies; updates on regulatory and legal requirements; and other ideas that help workplace professionals gain new perspectives on the challenges ahead.
This website is full of information, including over 100 articles selected from the Work&Place Journal plus the extensive W&P blog and Bento Box series. If you want to stay connected to what’s new, please join our LinkedIn Group. Enjoy!
