Ryan Anderson from MillerKnoll shares how a 60-year-old management theory can help rejuvinate offices, looking at MIT professor Douglas McGregor’s concept of Theory X and Theory Y management.
In short orgs using Theory X believe that managers are there to ensure that work is done (ie employees are working), where those using Theory Y believe that managers are there to empower workers to achieve their goals. By reimagining office space for the latter, could we see changes in design and utilization?

MillerKnoll shared their Global Workplace Assessment, for which they surveyed 4,815 desk-based workers in US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Brazil, India, Germany and the UK in August 2023. Participants rated their current workplaces across a range of factors using a 5-point scale.
Key takeaways are: most companies had fully in-office policies (49%), where 37.4% worked for cos with hybrid setups (and spent almost half their week in the office) and 13.6% were fully remote. Surprisingly it wasn’t the long commutes that kept people away from offices with those who live over 60 mins from their offices only spend slightly less time there than those who live within 15 mins commute (2.25 days/week vs 2.59).
