“Why are we measuring productivity with days in the office or minutes on the clock? We shouldn't look at it that way. It's more about the experiences we're creating in the office.”
In this episode, we are joined by Rebecca Swanner, Workplace Sector Leader and Associate Principle at HED, who brings a blend of interior and architectural design experience, as well as team and project leadership.
In our conversation, Rebecca discusses the delicate balance of company culture, technology infrastructure, and environmental tweaks that support various tasks, personality styles, and moods, along with the concept of choice in the workplace, activity-based design, and the innovative research on productivity in hybrid work environments.

- Having the power to decide how, where, and when to work bolsters employee engagement
- Designing workspaces to cater to a variety of tasks and moods doesn't require an overhaul—simple tweaks can significantly enhance productivity and well-being
- It's the quality of experiences that define the true value of time spent in the office
