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.

The phrase “return to work” sparks up a lot of emotions these days. We've all grown accustomed to pets on video calls, taking meetings in pajamas, and rogue child interruption. Giving that up to go back to the office can make us feel a bit conflicted. Especially if you have to return to a dreary, gray, dull, cubicle. When Robert Propst invented the Action Office back in the 1960s, he had no idea they'd devolve into corporate melancholy. Today's guest, Amy Yin, Founder and CEO of OfficeTogether, is battling the sadness of cubicles everyday. She and her team work tirelessly to make offices fun and engaging again. In today's episode, you'll learn how the office has evolved over the years, and how it's impacted the way we interact with customers. --------“Companies are walking a very fine line right now between too much choice and flexibility and not enough camaraderie and fun.” - Amy Yin--------Time Stamps* (0:00) The intersection of Dilbert and CX* (5:30) What is OfficeTogether?* (7:45) The nuances of going back to the office* (10:10) Their Customer Experience* (12:44) How to keep in touch with customers* (14:53) What makes a great customer experience--------SponsorThis podcast is presented by Oracle CX. Hear more executive perspectives on CX transformation at Oracle.com/cx/perspectives--------LinksConnect with Amy on LinkedInCheck out OfficeTogether

People have been going back and forth about what makes a healthy and productive office since there have been offices. The 20th century was full of misbegotten fads and productivity innovations that continue to this day, even when the whole notion of what it means to be in an office has shifted during the pandemic. In this first episode of our series "The Future Of..." we look at the past, present, and future of the office through the lens of the office furniture that has been designed to solve all our problems.Support for this episode was provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which is committed to improving health and health equity in the United States. In partnership with others, RWJF is working to develop a Culture of Health rooted in equity that provides every individual with a fair and just opportunity to thrive, no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they have.Reaction Offices and the Future of Work

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Friday, October 1st.   Today - Last year, Denver voters approved funding for a Climate Protection Fund. So what does the director of Denver's new climate action office have to say about how they're supporting climate-friendly projects and programs?   But before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”:   Today, we take you back to October 1st, 1991 when thousands of people flocked to Gilpin and Teller Counties lured by more than a dozen casinos that opened that day - all in hopes of reinvigorating former mining towns.    Now, our feature story.   Denver voters last November approved funding for a Climate Protection Fund, making the Mile High City the second in the nation to direct taxpayer dollars toward climate action work. Colorado Sun reporter Michael Booth sat down with the director of Denver's new climate action office and gives us the details of how the office is supporting a variety of climate-friendly projects and programs.    Read more from Michael's visit with Grace Rink at coloradosun.com   And Before we go, here are a few stories that you should know about today:   The typical fall explosion of color in Colorado's high country is not lasting as long as usual. That's yet another effect of climate change, with unsettled weather and a dry summer hastening the shift from green to yellow, red and orange.   A doctor and medical student have sued the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus over the center's requirement for all employees and students to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court challenges the medical center's denial of their requests for religious exemptions from the vaccine mandate and marks the latest clash over the growing number of public and private vaccine mandates.    The Bureau of Land Management awarded oil and gas leases on public land in northwest Colorado without adequately considering impacts to air and wilderness, a federal judge has ruled. But U.S. District Court Judge Marcia Krieger -- MAR-sha KREE-ger -- stopped sort of voiding the leases in her response to a lawsuit filed by environmental groups hoping to block oil and gas drilling on 58,000 acres of public land around Dinosaur National Monument.   For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

Kathryn Lofton is a professor of religious studies and history at Yale University. Her book Consuming Religion (University of Chicago Press, 2017) offers a collection of eleven essays of cultural critique that reflect on the connections between religion, consumer culture, celebrity and the corporation. Her definition of religion is capacious and founded on Durkheim’s understanding of it as a form of social organization that determines who we are. In contemporary culture religion is an attempt to mass-produce relations of value and generate both control and freedom. Applying this definition to popular culture, she examines binge watching, the cubicle of the Action Office of Herman Miller, Purity Balls, Hotel Preston’s innovation in the Spiritual Menu offerings, and the fascination with the Kardashians. In an ethnographic study of the Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs, she demonstrates how the idea of corporate culture becomes a form of religion. Lofton challenges us to see religion everywhere in our construction of meaning and values. This episode of New Books in American Studies was produced in cooperation with the Society for U.S. Intellectual History. Lilian Calles Barger, www.lilianbarger.com, is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian. Her current book project is tentatively entitled The World Come of Age: Religion, Intellectuals and the Challenge of Human Liberation is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.
