EP 36 - The 100-Year Evolution Of The Workplace

In this episode, we explore the evolution of the American office. How has the corporate office transformed over the decades? What factors have driven these changes? In what ways have our office environments improved, and in what ways have they declined? The American office has experienced various movements, including Taylorism, the Open Office, Bürolandschaft, the Action Office, and the notorious Cubicle Farm. We conclude by examining LinkedIn Headquarters Building One, a notable example of post-pandemic office design trends. LinkedIn aims to create a dynamic workplace for in-person, hybrid, and remote teams, attracting people from across the campus and even from their homes by offering diverse workspaces, unique amenities, and exclusive experiences.
