John Preece is a highly experienced expert in commercial property and workspace who is helping to build the fast-growing co-working business Hub Australia nationally as Chief Property Officer. He is passionate about the Future of work and on this episode of the Tech Simple podcast, we are fortunate to cover this topic extensively with John and gain some insight into what he is seeing.
John introduces us to the topic of “Liberating Working” and explains its meaning as well as how it differs from hybrid working and even flexible work. Further detail around the topic can also be found in a whitepaper published by John in late 2021 “Liberated work: Responding to the unshackling of work from place”.

In the show, we also discuss the role of technology and how important it is to the user experience. The office is and will not die, according to John, it will simply take on a different form. However, the office as a product must add value and provide a quality experience for people – hence the need for seamless technology. This is especially important for an organization like Hub Australia that supplies a service to paying members and their guests.
