In this session, Louis-Pierre Gravelle, our Focus 45 Moderator will discuss The post-Covid office redesign with Giovanni Galimberti of Bird & Bird.
“New ways of working: The Bird & Bird Milan offices’ experience”
The design of spaces influences and guides people's behaviour. In a post pandemic world, a flexible and supportive workplace provides a balance of knowledge sharing, collaboration, space to focus and socialise.
In Bird & Bird's new headquarters in Milan, an iconic concept office embodies these features and promotes people engagement and attracts new talent in a "new normal" scenario. The new office is a place where the Bird & Bird culture comes to life, placing people and clients at the centre of the business.
You are welcome to stay online after the webinar for 15 minutes for freeform discussions with Giovanni and Louis-Pierre in our Wonder room - the link will be provided during the webinar.
