Workplace Operators Team to Draw Up Post-COVID Guidelines
Industrious and 13 other workplace operators have formed the Workplace Operator Readiness Council (WORC), a global coalition that seeks to develop new guidelines to help minimize the risk of COVID-19 spread in the workplace.
Along with Industrious, WORC includes IWG globally; Convene, Hana and IOS Offices in North America; Mindspace and Talent Garden in Europe; Ikigai in Africa; and Awfis and JustCo in Asia.
WORC is supported by advisors that include former Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Seth Harris, along with real estate-related companies that include CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, Gensler, and Hines.
“This is a global effort,” said Industrious CEO Jamie Hodari. “We’re collectively learning what’s working—and what’s not—in places like Singapore, Germany, etc. to work through these challenges and put together best practices. And, because we’re all workplace operators, those practices will be practical and human-centered, rather than simply architectural in nature.”
