We can probably all agree that the last few months have brought a number of changes to our lives, new behaviors, cultural shifts, and sudden industry transformations to all of us.



As a Transformation Leader at Knoll, a design firm that produces systems, furniture, and accessories for the office, Jenny West is accustomed to change. In "normal times," she helps Fortune 500 companies navigate change and shape their work environments. She integrates strategy, vision, and the latest trends in workplace design, employment, and workstyles.



Perhaps, Jenny's name rings a bell or two. If you've been listening to The Nourishing Workplace since the start, you might remember her from our previous conversation (one of the most popular episode of the podcast), where we talked about how to design a human-centered workplace and bring cafeterias and ‘third places’ at the forefront of your company culture.



During these past few months, Jenny has had her share of work in helping clients transition to remote work and design healthy experiences of work at home for their employees.


“This remote interaction isn’t new. What's new is that everybody is doing it.” Jenny West
