The workplace has been on a journey, from machine-like rows of desks in the 50s to the private cubicles of the 70s, to the tech-inspired co-working spaces of the 2000s. But workplaces aren't just about configuration. This book will help you create a fantastic workplace - The Elemental Workplace. Everyone deserves a positive environment in which to live, learn, grow, share and contribute. Its creation is intuitive and simple. This book is intended for everyone, whether managing a property portfolio or a project, owning or running a business, or just taking an interest in the workplace to which they are treated, or subject. All corporate bullsh*t and buzzwords surgically removed. As long as physical workspace is required, this book will remain relevant.

The Elemental Workplace is rooted in Neil's professional experience. Despite this being in large, global corporates, I was pleased to read early in the book that the Elemental Workplace can be achieved at low cost, is far from difficult to achieve, and is attainable. I'm looking forward to using the Elemental Framework and Elemental Standard tools. --Dr. Anne Marie Rattray, Founder at the Smart Work Company Ltd
In this meta world where it seems acceptable to remix and repurpose 'knowledge' at will, the wisdom of the past is often forgotten, and the same workplace challenges, bad decisions and mediocre solutions play out like Groundhog Day. With the heart of a leader, the mind of a scholar and the pen of a wordsmith, Neil Usher finally offers something different: a memorable, deceptively simple vision of an Elemental Workplace that draws from his professional learnings. The result? Inspiration and hope for us all, because workplace really does matter. --Ian Ellison, Workplace Matters podcast host and co-founder of 3edges
An enlightening read from someone who doesn't just talk about the workplace but has delivered some of the best. Thought-provoking, insightful, jargon-free and entertaining. One for anyone working in the field to keep within arm's reach. --Mark Simpson, Principal, Chair of Design, Head of Workplace, BDP
The Elemental Workplace is first and foremost well thought out. It makes sense. It is a plan to tackle a particular problem. I like that approach. Secondly, it is well written. I could even say beautifully written, but the word beautiful is not connected to work in my working class American mind. The Elemental Workplace is funny in the appropriate places, but it is practical in every single paragraph. It is very well organized and constructed, and the ideas are presented in a logical flow that keeps the reader learning, engaged, and moving forward. The book is here. The plan is present. I just hope that workers, managers, and owners throughout the world read it and put it into practice. --Reviewed by Ray Simmons for Readers' Favorite
