Book SynopsisAs remote working becomes the norm rather than the exception for many office workers around the globe, The Nowhere Office proposes a radical new way of thinking about work both now and in the future. Offering a strategic and practical guide to negotiating this pivotal moment in the history of work, The Nowhere Office addresses the problems which beset work - the endemic stagnant productivity and crisis of stress which predate the pandemic - and the new challenges of remote working, repurposing offices for more creative interaction, managing WFH teams and satisfying the demand for more purposeful work with greater work/life balance. Drawing on history, cutting-edge research and extensive interviews Julia Hobsbawm argues persuasively that now is the time to develop something better, more meaningful, and, crucially, more workable.Trade ReviewJulia Hobsbawm is brilliant at seeing tomorrow's ideas today -- Jo Lo Dico, Financial TimesEvery manager or leader who is wondering what to do next about their offices and people needs to read The Nowhere Office -- Ben Page, Global CEO of IpsosWorking or not working defines who we are.
