Rethinking the Workplace – Solving for the future

With the return to workplace top of mind, how to plan for re-entry can feel overwhelming. Where do you begin? What happens after the first few days…weeks…months? How do you renovate and adapt to meet the needs dictated by a global pandemic? While timing around opening our workplaces are restricted to each state’s mandates, now is the time to make the necessary changes in preparation for re-entry into our new normal. Gensler has been having these conversations with their clients for the last several months, helping to strategize and build out solutions that will provide them with a safe and healthy environment in which to return.
