We are in the midst of a wellbeing crisis, with loneliness at record highs and a decline in social connection, friendship and community. Yet the workplace offers a powerful opportunity to rebuild relationships and foster belonging. In this session, we’ll explore what belonging really means and how the design of space can actively support it. We’ll talk about how place shapes interaction and community, and how to make the office a compelling destination for connection, engagement, and results.
