About this Event
Dr Matthew Davis, Associate Professor in Organizational Psychology at Leeds University Business School will present key findings from pre-COVID-19 research concerning homeworking - what this work arrangement means for employees’ work-life balance, wellbeing, autonomy and motivation. He then questions how this may be different for people who have found themselves homeworking overnight, often with little training or support for the change. Next, Matthew highlights how the mass experiment in homeworking may accelerate trends in office design, influencing what businesses and employees expect from the office of the future.
