How do we design workplaces that truly help people thrive – not just function?

På Framtidens kontor och arbetssätt 2025 i oktober, medverkar Tim Oldman – grundare av Leesman och nu medgrundare & Co-VD för Aéto – tillsammans med Jonas Hurtigh Grabe, Consulting Partner på Aéto. De kommer att dela med sig av sina insikter om hur arbetsplatsstrategier kan möta utmaningarna i en hybrid, digital och snabbt föränderlig värld.

Vi frågade dem om de förändringar de ser, lärdomarna från tidigare arbete och varför kontoret fortfarande spelar en viktig roll.

Tim, you founded Leesman, which became the world’s largest workplace experience database and Jonas, you have 15+ years pioneering Activity Based Working across Scandinavia. How are the lessons from your journeys shaping the work you do at Aéto today? 
That organisations are increasingly unable to say what a successful outcome ‘looks like’. We don’t mean visually, but by way of measuring success – so beyond traditional real estate metrics, there is little sense of what a workplace can do for an organisation and then to later measure or prove it did that. That’s what we’re trying to resolve.

From your perspective, what is the most significant shift in how organisations think about the office since hybrid work became the norm?
We’re not sure there has been a shift. The debate seems stuck.

Many companies struggle to balance flexibility, collaboration, and wellbeing. What does an effective workplace strategy in 2025 need to prioritise?
We think it all comes down to be able to clearly say what the workplace is there to do for those who use it. Be clear, be intentional and be authentic.

Without revealing too much, what can participants expect to take away from your session in October?
That they must stop focussing on problems, they must start defining success, and they must have ways to measure it.

Ta chansen att lyssna till Tim & Jonas och flera andra spännande talare den 14 oktober. Här får du inspiration, trender, strategier och verkliga exempel som hjälper dig att skapa en arbetsplats som fungerar på riktigt – både nu och i framtiden.
