Join us on Thursday, April 21 at Rocket Fuel in Chicago for our next Work Design TALK! Top workplace experts will address how to help your workforce (or yourself!) grow accustomed to more choice and identify the best settings for particular tasks, why choice can increase employee well-being and satisfaction, and what the coworking model can teach us about the benefits of choosing work environments that suit their needs.
The discussion will be moderated by our special guest, Kate North, the VP of workplace innovation at Place Value and the global chair of Workplace Evolutionaries.

Here’s how our sponsors enable choice in the workplace:
How do AgilQuest’s products enable choice in workspaces?
When employees choose to work in the office, our software shows them all the different workspace options designers have created and lets them pick which one is the best style or layout for them today. Workers get to choose which desk is closest to their friends, team mates, or boss… or that window with the great view. From an iPhone or Android, from the web or from a touchscreen attached to a desk or the door of a meeting room, AgilQuest’s OnBoard software lets your people choose the best place for them to work today from the many choices you’ve provided. Behind that our Commander BI analytics platform anonymously tracks which workspaces and meeting rooms were actually used or not, which ones were popular and which were not. OnBoard lets people choose and Commander BI tells you what was chosen and what was actually used.
