Leigh Stringer is Global Director of Advisory Services at Perkins&Will, Jomal McNeal is VP of Customer Solutions and Stephen Smith is VP of People Analytics at REWORC where they are passionate about aligning people, place and process for the ultimate workplace experience. Mike Petrusky hosts a conversation about how understanding human behavior and social sciences can inform space management strategies and how psychological safety can foster a culture of inclusion. The panel explores how data should inform, not drive, business decisions and how FM and CRE touch every part of a business. We must focus on collaboration and community building in the workplace and data is a critical tool for understanding and improving workplace behavior. The industry needs better metrics that speak to people analytics and business intelligence if we hope to move beyond efficiency to become a business driver.

Mike Petrusky asks Tracy about the upcoming release of her newly updated book, "The Secrets to Happiness at Work", where she delves deeper into the role of work in our lives and how we can create conditions for happiness and fulfillment at work. Tracy believes that work can be a significant source of happiness as we are contributing to our community, purpose, and personal identity. The current popular narrative of work as a negative experience needs to be combated as we seek to find a balance between time spent in the office and time spent working remotely. Tracy offers advice about how workplaces can be designed for a variety of experiences, offering a range of settings matched with an inclusive and trustworthy culture.
