Webinar Summary

As organizations continue to manage return-to-office and hybrid workplace dynamics, the focus has shifted toward creating flexible work environments that support employee wellbeing, connection, and performance. The physical workspace – whether at home, in office, or somewhere in between – is no longer just a backdrop for work but a strategic tool for shaping culture and enabling people to thrive.

Join McLean & Company’s CHRO Panel as we explore how leading organizations are designing workspaces that prioritize mental health, inclusion, and engagement. We’ll discuss how flexibility in where, when, and how work happens can enhance wellbeing, and how intentional design choices can reinforce values, foster belonging, and drive performance.
Expect candid insights, practical strategies, and a fresh perspective on how the physical and cultural dimensions of workspaces can evolve to meet the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s workforce.

Our panel of CHROs will discuss how to:

  • Reframe the Role of Space: Understand how flexible environments, both physical and virtual, can support wellbeing, psychological safety, and organizational culture.

  • Flexibility as a Driver of Wellbeing: Learn how empowering employees with choice in how and where they work to improve mental health and engagement.

  • Design for Inclusion and Impact: Explore how CHROs are using workspace design to foster belonging, reinforce values, and support diverse needs.

  • Measure What Matters: Discover key metrics and feedback loops to assess the impact of workspace strategies on wellbeing and performance.
