Solving high-stakes problems is complex — in many cases literally transforming how business happens. The work is different from just a few years ago, not only because teams have to make decisions more quickly and deliver results fast, but they’re often highly distributed and include external partners, all of which can further complicate an already complicated project.

By bringing an intentional focus on people’s lives and how they intersect with work, designers can help create the conditions for a workplace where people feel that being there actually helps their wellbeing and offers opportunities for moments of joy. ​

Designing workplaces that nurture people and foster moments of delight and joy requires an intentional effort to truly understand what leads to wellbeing.
