Multimodal workplaces help to optimize the work experience.”¯New hybrid work environments in the office include deep-focus spaces for quiet work, “soulful” spaces with comfortable and creative furniture and conversation nooks, innovation or event spaces, formal gathering spaces and community spaces.”¯
Companies are making workplaces more inclusive and accessible for neurodivergent employees.”¯Acknowledging neurodiversity ultimately means providing a choice that doesn’t involve people completely separating themselves from others.”¯
Smart technologies can benefit occupant comfort and well-being in the workplace.”¯The use of smart technologies to improve indoor air quality, personalize thermal comfort and acoustic control, sync lighting systems with circadian rhythms and facilitate accessibility can affect occupant well-being and contribute to more sustainable environments.”¯
