Working from Home – Social Isolation and Lockdown

December 11, 2020 by Lauren Melling Leave a Comment

Social Isolation working from home

Since the Government’s announcement of a second lockdown, an array of different reactions from the public were unveiled. The rising number of new Covid-19 cases exacerbated feelings of uncertainty – particularly about when things will finally revert back to some level of normality.

Working from Home continued in Lockdown2.0

When we design workplaces as lifestyle packages… who are they for?

March 10, 2020 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

This think piece considers the implications of offering workplaces as total lifestyle solutions. When we design these spaces, who are they actually for? Do we need to consider diversity and inclusion? How does this impact corporate culture and work life balance? And… are we working to live, or living to work?    Conversations about work-life balance are […]

Why Rudeness at Work is Contagious (and difficult to stop)

October 16, 2019 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

Most people can relate to the experience of having a colleague inexplicably treat them rudely at work. You’re not invited to attend a meeting. A co-worker gets coffee – for everyone but you. Your input is laughed at or ignored. You wonder: where did this come from? Did I do something? Why would he treat […]

Problems with noise at work? A lot of it is in our heads

January 10, 2019 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

Baker Stuart’s Insight: The problem of noise at work is particularly important at the moment because most UK employees are now working in open plan offices  that are on average about 20 percent smaller than they were ten years ago.

Free Food May Be Good For Office Morale, But It Promotes Overeating If Kept At A Close Distance

January 3, 2019 by Katy Lawn Leave a Comment

Baker Stuart’s Insight: Whilst more and more companies are offering free food in the workplace because of it’s morale-boosting potential, there is evidence that it can promote over-eating.
