And is there a better way to build workspaces so that we can thrive and flourish at work?\n\nThese are the questions that my guest and I explore in this episode of the Potential Psychology Podcast.\n\nDr Jacqueline Vischer is Professor Emeritus at the University of Montreal, an environmental psychologist, author, consultant and expert in how the space we work in affects the way we think, feel and behave.\n\nJacqueline's consulting agency Buildings-In-Use advises companies and government agencies on planning, designing, implementing and managing new and innovative workspaces.
