Join us on December 9th at the Saint-Gobain Multi-Comfort Centre in London for a thought-provoking talk and interactive discussion/mini workshop exploring how acoustics, gender, and workplace design influence whether people feel truly heard at work.
It will be led by specialists Paige Hodsman and Nigel Oseland as they reveal the results of their new research on this topic, and seek your feedback.
