Designing the Workplace for People in the Age of AI

Today, Steve discusses new research from Gensler, The Global Workplace Survey, which suggests that as AI automates routine tasks, employees are spending more time learning, collaborating, and building relationships with colleagues. That means the workplace isn’t disappearing, rather it’s evolving. There’s a new focus on designing the workplace for people in the age of AI.

In this episode of the Workplace Minute, we explore why workplace design may matter more in the AI era, the surprising behaviors of AI power users, and what HR and business leaders should do to ensure their workplaces support collaboration, creativity, and human connection.
