Workplace Forum aims to advance the understanding and practice of the relationship between the evolving workplace and business performance.
Established in 1992 by DEGW, international design consultants, the forum provides a research and learning network focused on global best practice in workplace design, technology, and management.
Workplace Forum:
- provides a global workplace intelligence network;
- encourages knowledge sharing amongst senior decision makers from specialist areas including real estate and property, IT, and HR;
- develops knowledge and intelligence through research to inform better decision making.
Over the years Workplace Forum has grown geographically to be a global organisation, as well as in scope to cover development planning as well as health and learning environments.
