In this podcast, you'll hear from Gerda Stelpstra, an anthropologist and self-described "nonconformist" of the corporate real estate sector. As a strategist at Cushman & Wakefield, she utilizes anthropological principles to guide organizations in their workplace development, placing human interaction, connection, and behavior at the forefront of strategic decisions.
We connect with Gerda at Helix, a flagship workplace and living lab for fostering social connection, where Cushman & Wakefield continually iterates and defines best practices.
Join Michael Creamer and Gerda Stelpstra at Helix in Utrecht, Netherlands as they discuss the importance of replacing guesswork with data and predictive analytics. Learn about their experiments with organizational network analysis, using smart building technology, and how a "brokerage highway" regulates stress in the workplace.
