Mark Catchlove is Director of the Global Insight Group at MillerKnoll where he is passionate about helping occupiers and designers create great places by sharing extensive and insightful research with the workplace and design community. Recorded live in London, Mike Petrusky asks Mark about our fundamental human need for belonging and how it should impact workplace strategies in 2023. They discuss “creating an office that is worth the commute” by prioritizing connectedness and wellness while balancing individual flexibility with community. Mark believes that some corporate leaders have made mistakes with restrictive hybrid workplace policies as they struggle to create policies that offer autonomy without leading to anarchy. Mike and Mark explore the value of gathering for deep collaboration, restoring weak ties and building social connections as we seek to create better workplace experiences for our teams.
