The Alchemical Workplace: Designing for Expectations, Performance and Value

28 Apr 2026
Workplace Leaders Summit
Workplace Leaders Summit

Today's leaders must treat the workplace as a strategic asset, one that reflects its organisational value, attracts top talent, and remains competitive in a rapidly changing world.

The key lies in understanding what employees truly want from the workplace. The multi-generational workforce is looking for an experience that is intentional, aligned, and purpose-driven.

In this session, Jane Clay and Gurtake Singh from Gensler, the global architecture and design firm, will explore why experience and choice are key drivers of workplace value.

Drawing from Gensler's 2026 Global Workplace survey, they explore what employees expect from the office now, and how the right balance and mix of spaces, people and design can create transformative places to work.
