In this 45 minute webinar, we covered the findings from our trends report and explored how trust will be a key brand differentiator in a post pandemic world.

Is sustainability still a priority for consumers? Will people ever use shared spaces again? Does quality of life depend on better technology solutions? Last year, we surveyed people living and working in the UK to find out whether recent trends would continue or take a new course due to new circumstances brought about by the pandemic. We discovered it is important for companies to show they have the right core values. Today, people will align themselves with businesses and brands they can trust. This will be a key differentiator as we emerge from the pandemic. As businesses adapt their offering - from the products and services to the spaces and experiences they design - they must consider how they can attract and retain weary, cash-strapped consumers who increasingly seek to prioritise quality of life.

In this short webinar we introduced the main findings from our trends report, and two guest speakers who spoke to it in relation to their interests in business innovation and workplace futures.
