I'm sharing lots of personal stories and my own journey on struggling with #LongCovid and my #ReturnToWork so this #workplaceGeeks #podcast is very dear to my heart.
It was slightly daunting to do - will I hurt my career by speaking up so clearly? Will I lose friends over clear warnings that #CovidIsNotOver ?
But in the end my sense of the need for advocacy prevailed.
Please share the podcast - with friends, family, colleagues, managers, HR people, organizations, CEOs
I've been invited by the wonderful #WorkplaceGeeks #podcast to their reflection section - a regular place at the end of their podcasts to comment and reflect - for a paper by Karina Nielsen and Jo Yarker on the sustainable return to work for workers with #LongCovid
Must listen everyone!

Together with my brilliant collaborator @ChrystalaPsathiti, I was invited by the #WorkplaceGeeks Ian Ellison and Chris Moriarty to talk about our latest research paper on adolescent perceptions of schools in relation to their spatial layout, originally published in the Journal of Architecture and now featured in the wonderful Workplace Geeks podcast series 3.

Wonderful new #WorkplaceGeeks podcast episode with Stanford Economics professor Nick Bloom on hybrid work - full of data, methodological insights and guidance on what works and what to expect in the coming years
Favourite bit: will people come to the office more when they're really nice and shiny? Nick: "I think that's mostly BS" 🙃

Listen to this episode from Workplace Geeks on Spotify. 💡Use the chapter markers in your podcast player to jump to different sections of the episode easily! 🤓SynopsisChris and Ian are joined by Dr Kerstin Sailer, Professor of the Sociology of Architecture at The Bartlett School, University College London, researcher, space syntax ninja, and co-founder of workspace science and design think tank Brainybirdz. Kerstin brings TWO papers to show (spoiler alert - long episode!) - 'Differential perceptions of teamwork, focused work and perceived productivity as an effect of desk characteristics within a workplace layout' (from 2021, co-authored with Petros Koutsolampros and Rosi Pachilova), and 'Providing care quality by design: a new measure to assess hospital ward layouts' (from 2020, co-authored by Rosi Pachilova).Put simply, both papers use a space syntax technique called isovists to explore the open plan of a major tech company, then the ward and corridor layouts of hospitals - and the findings challenge perceptions and existing 'best practice' ideas of two very different open plan working environments - with clear implications for workspace design. The Geeks are then joined all the way from Canada by the amazing Simon Iatrou for the reflection section, because James is on holiday (in Yorkshire, just for a change... 🙄)🤩 Please rate, review and recommend the show to help us spread the Workplace Geeks word - thank you! 🙌🏼Learn more 🌱🧠Kerstin on LinkedInKerstin on Mastodon (her preference to Twitter)Kerstin at The Bartlett School, UCLBrainybirdz websiteLink to office paperLink to healthcare paperLink to the prospect and refuge theory paper referenced in the reflection sectionSimon Iatrou on LinkedInMagenta Associates Hit Chris and Ian up and follow @WorkplaceGeeks on LinkedIn...and don't forget to use the hashtag #WorkplaceGeeks 💬Workplace Geeks is sponsored by 2468 Group ☕️ and brought to you by Audiem⚡️- click to learn more!
