Future of the Workplace study launches in Exeter

Businesses are being invited to get involved with ‘Future of the Workplace’ to help understand the best ways of improving workspaces in and around Exeter.

 Backed by Exeter City Council and Exeter Chamber of Commerce, the initiative is looking at best practice around productivity and well-being of employees.

 Organisations in and around Exeter can complete a survey at bit.ly/FoftheW which will gather insight into workspaces and work initiatives covering physical space, technology and well-being. Findings will form part of a report to the city council, MP Ben Bradshaw, local organisations and businesses.

 Exeter-based work transformation specialists Space helped kick-start the initiative.

Tim Wadsworth, Director of Space, said: “Future of the Workspace will highlight some of the city’s fantastic workspaces and provide guidance backed by data on what is conducive to creating happy, motivated and productive teams and great working environments.”

Anonymised data feeds into the overall report, whilst companies receive a personalised report setting out their information against the local average ‘benchmark’ on different indicators.

Organisations including Corkscrew, Cosmic, Crowdcube, Devon County Council, Exeter Chamber, Exeter City Council, Expedite, Humanscale, OTB Eveling, Office Labs, Oxygen House, Stephens Scown LLP, the University of Exeter, Wild Hart and The Workplace Wellness Company met earlier this year to help shape the initiative.

 The initiative has also seen the launch of the Space Awards (www.spaceawards.co.uk) to recognise great workspaces.
