Topics discussed range from defining and comparing flexible, coworking and corpoworking spaces, policies made in local environments, and the flexible working taxonomy.

The so called 'new reality' is here and it is here to stay. The 'new normal' is a reality with a mix of home, mobile, and classic office environment. We run a software and consulting house serving clients around the world and when the pandemic hit in 2020, we had to adjust quickly. In the beginning uncertainty about future was strong, and we had to change the way how we do business. Our consulting teams changed from 41% remote consulting to 98% remote consulting. And did not lose one client. On the software side, we have been lucky as our solution improves data collaboration in remote settings, we benefited winning new partners and clients. Based on our own experience, many conversations within the team (yes, we also had to home school), with clients, partners and by an active sounding of the market we decided to put this book together. What this book is not is a scientific review of work behavior and a description of productivity losses and gains. The book was planned as the ultimate practical guide to navigate the Modern Workplace. The three chapters structure the book in a first part where we gather some facts and figures on the quick changes caused by the pandemic. In the second chapter we give helpful tips and advice on how to work remotely and finally we gathered ideas how to lead yourself and others within the 'new reality'. We hope you enjoy the reading.
Everything about work has changed, but very little about the workplace has. The current work environment is not working for humans. The defining ethic in the modern workplace is more demanding, bigger, and faster. More information than ever is available and the speed of every transaction has increased exponentially, prompting a sense of permanent urgency and endless distraction. Humans are not programmed like computers. Nor do they run in a linear manner like a machine. Life is moving faster than ever and unintentionally isolating people from one another. People are spending more time at work than they are with their loved ones and maintaining their personal lives. "Relationships are one of the main sources of happiness, but when they go wrong they produce very great distress and are one of the roots of mental disorder" (Argyle). Humans were created to interact, with one another, and with their environments. Human Energy comes from four sources: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Humans achieve great performance when a source or work environment can activate and respond to all four spectrums. This is when humans can achieve great performance. In order to better understand human behavior, understand work, understand how humans measure performance there needs to be more investment on the part of people who design, plan, provide and manage workplaces so they can use those measures to justify changes in the workplace. Furthermore, several corporation case studies regarding organizational culture will be explored. The precedents foreground how design can keep workers happy, engaged and productive while enhancing work performance and satisfaction.
