Panel Discussion: Building the Post Pandemic Workplace​

A Conversation about the Work Place Design

The “Building the Post-Pandemic Workplace” panel discussion created a concrete discussion around concepts of re-designing the workplace. Based on the latest research and first-hand learnings, the goal was to face today’s challenges and shape the #future through experience sharing, mutual listening and open dialogue.We have invited 6 experienced panellists with different backgrounds and perspectives. From high-profile leaders from various industries, to a researcher in clinical psychology and compassion-focused therapy, to a current graduate student as a representative of Gen Z, they all shared the human-centric approach with which they have shaped their professional paths.
