How Engaging Workspaces Lead to Transformation and Growth

Change Your Space, Change Your Culture is a guide to
transforming business by rethinking the workplace. Written by a
team of trail-blazing leaders, this book reveals the secrets of
companies that discovered the power of culture and space. This
insightful guide reveals what companies lose by viewing office
space as something to manage or minimize. With practical tips and
implementation details, the book helps the reader see that the
workspace is, in fact, a crucial driver of productivity and
morale.

Change Your Space, Change Your Culture was born out of
recent studies that expose truly outrageous "Oh, my God"
realities:

• More than 70 percent of the workforce either hates their job or
  they are just going through the motions.


• Half of all office space is wasted.

Those shattering facts exist because office space is generally
regarded as "overhead" or "sunk cost." Most buildings today clearly
communicate the low priority placed on people-friendly design. Poor
workforce engagement is baked into the culture. This book provides
guidance on turning this around, by rethinking and reshaping space
to align with the way people work. Specifically, this book moves
from the high-altitude view down to the details on how to:

1. Discover the fastest, easiest and most cost-effective way to
   shift culture


2. Add square footage by using space more effectively


3. Boost employee engagement and vitality by the creative use of
   space


4. Learn how space can become a powerful productivity tool

We all know that design, space, and flow have a powerful effect
on the human psyche. Our homes, museums, sports arenas, places of
worship, and even airport terminals reveal that. Environment can
inspire dread or enthusiasm, distraction or focus, collaboration or
isolation. That's why the office must be designed to inspire the
desired culture and workflow ? if it's not properly designed,
no program, training or rules will be effective over time.
Change Your Space, Change Your Culture is the practical
guide to office space, the foundation of an engaging culture.
