In fact, it’s some of the worst on the planet, creating significant health risks for the city’s nearly 11 million residents. Jakubowski discusses how the quality and safety of the air — both outdoors and indoors — impacts our health, wellness, and cognitive performance. In short, better air quality leads to better results.

Where will we work in 2030? What will it look like? How will it function? These are big questions facing business leaders worldwide, and to get some answers Joe Kornik, Editor-in-Chief of VISION by Protiviti, sits down with HGA’s Melissa Pesci and Haley Nelson on this installment of the VISION by Protiviti podcast.

HGA is a Minneapolis-based national interdisciplinary design firm rooted in architecture, interior design and engineering, and both Melissa and Haley specialize in workplace design supporting clients nationally. On the program, we discuss the future of the office, specifically its design, and Melissa and Haley have some interesting ideas about the future of the workplace in 2030 and beyond, including “building more outdoor space for meeting, for eating and for relaxing. There’s the obvious added safety of fresh air, but I think the more important thing is people realize how much they like being outside. We’ve definitely seen a huge design shift to creating more productive office spaces outside.”

In this VISION by Protiviti podcast, Joe Kornik sits down with Graeme Codrington, co-founder of TomorrowToday and an expert on the future of work, bestselling author, award-winning speaker, and board advisor. He works across multiple industries and sectors and has a particular interest in disruptive forces changing how people live, work, interact, and connect with each other. “I think by 2030, the traditional careers and traditional professions are not going to exist anymore. You’re going to have to have overlapping sets of skills. Some of those are obvious already. Robotics, automation, AI, data analytics, but I think you can look at pretty much any career and profession and realize there’ll be integration.” Speaking internationally to over 100,000 people in more than 20 different countries every year, Codrington lectures at some of the world’s top business schools and has written five books, including Mind the Gap and Futureproof Your Uncertain Future.
