Janet Pogue McLaurin, FAIA, FIIDA is Principal and Global Director of Workplace Research at Gensler where she is passionate about leading their Workplace Performance Index® (WPIx), which measures how people work, space effectiveness and workplace experience for clients. Mike Petrusky asks Janet to share stories from her 40-year journey in workplace strategy, research and design, with a focus on how the physical workplace can impact employee engagement and business performance. Mike and Janet celebrate their common communities at IFMA and Workplace Evolutionaries as they explore highlights of Gensler’s latest global workplace research showing that employers are providing choice in the workplace, but not the choice that workers say they need. They share how facility management leaders can create the environments where their workforce can thrive while offering inspiration to help you be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
