Albert De Plazaola is Senior Principal of Global Workplace Strategy at Unispace where he is passionate about design strategy, workplace strategy and change management with the intent to bring design thinking to solve business problems. Mike Petrusky asks about the opportunity FM and corporate real estate leaders have today to think differently about the workplace and address legacy issues in office design and strategy. They explore the importance of leadership when creating the culture and workspaces that will meet the needs of the hybrid workforce, while also enhancing productivity. Albert explains that the “perception paradox” reveals a gap between management and employee views on returning to the office, but offers hope for workplace leaders as he shares innovative ideas that can help you create more effective workspaces as you seek to be a workplace innovator in your organization!
