Problem Statement

Negative consequences have arisen for both employees and their companies as workplaces grow increasingly remote. How do we improve employee wellness and help establish a healthy hybrid work environment?

Over the past few months, my team and I have been engaged in an ongoing design project seeking to replicate the missing human connections uniquely present in physical workspaces. Without shared LaCroix fridge conversations and catching up at a coworker’s desk, companies have seen a drop in the creativity and productivity usually sparked by these casual interactions. As all workplaces reconsider the balance of on-site versus remote work, we seek to understand the phenomenon of incidental workplace interactions and how to encourage them in non-physical spaces.
