¶♪♪

2
00:00:01.768 --> 00:00:10.443
>> IT'S TIME TO GO INSIDE
INNOVATION BROUGHT TO YOU BY
ALLEGION. PIONEERING SAFETY.
IT'S A NEW YEAR AND SOME WOULD

3
00:00:10.443 --> 00:00:16.950
SUGGEST TIME FOR A NEW MINDSET
WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING THE
COMFORTS OF WORKING FROM HOME
BACK INTO THE OFFICE.

4
00:00:16.950 --> 00:00:24.491
BUSINESS FURNITURE AND CHOREO
HAVE LAUNCHED WHAT THEY CALL ONE
OF THE FIRST DESIGN SHOWROOMS IN
THE COUNTRY FOCUSED SOLELY ON

5
00:00:24.491 --> 00:00:30.997
CREATING WORKSPACE THAT COMBINE
THE PERKS OF WORK FROM HOME INTO
A COLLABORATIVE OFFICE
ENVIRONMENT.

6
00:00:30.997 --> 00:00:41.708
I'M PLEASED TO WELCOME CEO MARY
BETH OAKES BACK TO THE SHOW TO
TELL US MORE ABOUT MINDSET.
MARY BETH, WELCOME, AS ALWAYS.

7
00:00:41.708 --> 00:00:51.985
>> THANK YOU, GERRY. WE ARE
EXCITED TO HAVE THIS IDEA TO
SHARE. THE ORIGINAL NOTION WAS
TO CREATE A SPACE THAT REALLY

8
00:00:51.985 --> 00:00:58.458
SHIFTED THE MINDSET SO WE WERE
HELPING ORGANIZATIONS TO CREATE
SPACES WHERE PEOPLE REALLY DO
COME TOGETHER TO SHARE IDEAS, TO

9
00:00:58.458 --> 00:01:06.099
SHARE INFORMATION, TO INNOVATE,
TO BE CREATIVE, AND THEN WHAT
HAPPENED, RIGHT, AS A RESULT OF
THE PANDEMIC, RIGHT, WE HAD

10
00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:13.239
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IT
ONE STEP FARTHER, AND REALLY
THINK ABOUT WHAT KIND OF SPACES
DO PEOPLE NEED AS THEY COME BACK

11
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:22.382
FROM WORKING FROM HOME. MOST
EMPLOYEES SAY THEY WANT TO COME
BACK TO BETTER, RIGHT, SO THESE
SPACES ARE ABOUT THOSE CREATURE

12
00:01:22.382 --> 00:01:28.855
COMFORTS OF HOME, LOTS OF LIGHT,
COMFORT, WARMTH, JUST A
DIFFERENT KIND OF EXPERIENCE,
SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU GET WHEN

13
00:01:28.855 --> 00:01:35.161
WORKING FROM HOME, A FEELING
THAT'S LESS CORPORATE, RIGHT, SO
KIND OF A SOFTER WARMER FEEL.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO HELP

14
00:01:35.161 --> 00:01:43.503
ORGANIZATIONS TO CREATE. SO THIS
SPACE IS ALL ABOUT WALKING INTO
THIS SPACE, AND EXPERIENCING
THAT, RIGHT, AND FIGURING OUT

15
00:01:43.503 --> 00:01:48.675
HOW TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO
YOUR OWN WORK ENVIRONMENT SO
YOUR EMPLOYEES FEEL LIKE THEY'RE
COMING BACK TO BETTER.

16
00:01:48.675 --> 00:01:55.315
>> YOU MENTIONED THIS, BUT YOU
LOOKED AT A LOT OF DATA, A LOT
OF RESEARCH, AND IT SHOWS, STEEL
CASE, MORE THAN HALF OF THE

17
00:01:55.315 --> 00:02:02.989
PEOPLE SURVEYED SAID THEY WANT
TO BE -- THEY MAYBE WANT TO WORK
FROM HOME FOR A DAY OR TWO, BUT
THEY WANT TO GET BACK TO THE

18
00:02:02.989 --> 00:02:09.596
OFFICE, THERE IS A REAL FEELING
TO GET BACK IN THE OFFICE AND
CONNECT WITH PEOPLE. THAT AGAIN
IS WHAT THIS NEW CONCEPT REALLY

19
00:02:09.596 --> 00:02:18.171
FOCUSING ON.
>> IT DOES FOSTER THAT, AND
STEEL CASE, OUR PARTNER,
GLOBALLY THEY DID A STUDY,

20
00:02:18.171 --> 00:02:25.111
30,000 MARYS SINCE LAST MARCH,
OVERWHELMINGLY PEOPLE DO WANT TO
COME BACK TO THE OFFICE. I DON'T
THINK IT IS EVER GOING TO BE

21
00:02:25.111 --> 00:02:30.683
BUSINESS AS USUAL AGAIN WHERE
EVERYBODY IS IN THE OFFICE FIVE
DAYS A WEEK, MOST EMPLOYEES WANT
FLEXIBILITY, THEY WANT TO BE

22
00:02:30.683 --> 00:02:36.890
ABLE TO WORK FROM HOME A DAY OR
TWO OF THE WEEK. WHEN THEY COME
TO THE OFFICE, THEY WANT IT TO
FEEL A CERTAIN WAY AND CONNECT

23
00:02:36.890 --> 00:02:43.530
EASILY WITH OTHER PEOPLE, THEY
WANT TO HAVE PLACES TO GO FOR
FOCUS THAT MAYBE THEY CAN'T GET
IN THEIR HOME OFFICE. THEY HAVE

24
00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:54.474
SOME VERY SPECIFIC NEEDS, THEY
DO WANT TO COME BACK, THE ENERGY
YOU GET ONLY FROM HUMAN BEINGS.
>> YOU MENTIONED THE EFFICIENT

25
00:02:54.474 --> 00:03:01.981
SPACE, BUT ALSO THE SAFETY PIECE
IS IMPORTANT IN THIS COVID,
POST-COVID ERA.
>> SAFETY IS HUGE. THAT'S THE

26
00:03:01.981 --> 00:03:11.958
NUMBER ONE THING I THINK THAT
MOST EMPLOYEES ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT. THAT COULD MEAN SOCIAL
DISTANCING, BETTER VENTILATION,

27
00:03:11.958 --> 00:03:19.065
BUT THEY WANT TO COME BACK TO A
SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY KNOW
THEY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN DO THEIR
BEST WORK BECAUSE THEY'RE SAFE.

28
00:03:19.065 --> 00:03:26.306
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SAFE AND
COMPELLING KIND OF SPACES, AND
REALLY COMING BACK TO BETTER,
BACK TO BETTER THAN WHAT THEY

29
00:03:26.306 --> 00:03:35.148
LEFT LAST MARCH. BETTER
TECHNOLOGY, JUST BETTER SPACES,
BETTER OPPORTUNITIES FOR
INTERACTION, LOTS OF IDEAS

30
00:03:35.148 --> 00:03:44.891
AROUND BETTER. WHAT BACK TO
BETTER LOOK LIKE.
>> NEW CONCEPT, MINDSET FROM
BUSINESS FURNITURE AND CHOREO,

31
00:03:44.891 --> 00:03:53.499
MARY BETH. YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE
HEART OF THINGS GOING ON IN
FISHERS, THIS SPACE WILL OPEN UP
IN MARCH, WE LOOK FORWARD TO
