About the Topic: The Human Workplace

In his speech at Nordic Business Forum 2025, Gianpiero Petriglieri pointed out that we’re living in an existential juncture: a time when the past no longer makes sense and the future feels uncertain. In these moments, we long for leadership, not just any leadership, but the kind that helps us feel safe enough to act and free enough to grow.

What does this require from the work environment? How do we, as leaders, advance performance and collaboration in our teams? Aligned with the key theme of Nordic Business Forum 2026, the Human Edge, we invite you to join us and other HR professionals to discuss the future of work. Rasmus Vuorinen, Vice President, Leasing & Commercial Properties at Sponda, will share the findings of their latest survey, “The Current State and Outlook for Office Work 2025,” and invite attendees to a lively executive dialogue on this timely topic.
