Mike Petrusky has interviewed hundreds of leaders in facility management, corporate real estate, workplace research and consulting to discover the best strategies and theories about the future of work. So, where do things stand today? Over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, we know many things, we have theories about what the future workplace might look like, and we think we know what our people will want when they return to offices.

We have many human experiences in common and Mike believes that workplace leaders will face unexpected challenges moving their teams forward.
