In this episode of The Future of Less Work, host Nirit Cohen is joined by Delphine Donné, General Manager of Personal Workspace Solutions at Logitech, for a powerful conversation about redesigning work to fit people—not the other way around.
Together, they explore what happens when organizations move beyond one-size-fits-all models and co-create work environments that prioritize flexibility, wellbeing, and inclusion. From designing organizations with wellbeing in mind, to embracing flexible work as a strategic advantage, to the impact of ergonomic tools and diverse teams, this episode unpacks the small shifts that can make a big difference—and why the future of work must be personal, adaptable, and human-centered.
If you are curious to understand how small changes at work can make a big impact on wellbeing and why one-size-fits-all work doesn’t work anymore, this is the episode for you.
