In a welcome break from scheduled programming, I attended the Leesman ‘Measuring the World’s Workplaces - How the Best Beat the Rest’ event this morning. This part yearly report launch, mostly networking opportunity was held at the lovely Goldsmith Centre in sunny Farringdon.
While they have great hard analytical data, collected and packaged beautifully, I have to admit that the lack of soft influences is apparent in their reporting.
Now, I understand that the influences of existing company cultures is maybe a bit difficult to pin down, but employees mental and emotional state is as integral to to workplace as the ergonomic chairs. Unfortunately, like appropriate seating, workplace wellness is taking ages to catch on.
The requirement for fit for purpose office furniture is easy to measure. The psychological comfort of a productive employee is quite a bit harder.
Hatch Anylitics is trail blazing great work in a different vein from Leesman, championing the local over the global and the soft influence over the hard data.
There’s room for both but where do they meet together?
