Drees & Sommer Sweden

Last week our Senior Change Manager Peter Robertsson participated in a roundtable connecting other workplace leaders with each other. A great way to exchange experiences with other professionals in the same field as you. When looking back at the evening Peter shared the following. “I highly enjoy events like this because it has a focus on connecting people with similar challenges but different perspectives on how to solve them. And of course, it is nice to meet people in real life under social and relaxed circumstances" When looking at interesting perspectives on workplace related matters that emerged from the evening, Peter mentions the following. “One interesting thing I take with me from the evening was a frequently aired opinion that there are many different challenges related to stakeholder management in workplaces today” As workplace consulting is one of the things we are specialized in at Drees & Sommer Sweden, we are eagerly looking forward to next year when we get the chance to support and advice even more companies and organizations on how to create healthier and better working environments in the future.

Not too long ago our colleague Alexandra Lundberg Santacruz took part in “Tillgänglighetsdagen” which is held by “Tillgänglighetssakkunnigas riksförening” a non-profit organization covering all of Sweden, representing individuals who are certified as accessibility advisors in their profession. The topic for this specific get together was to take a closer look at the new building regulations issued by Boverket in Sweden. As someone who also serves as a deputy for the board and contributes with specific expertise in many fields, one being universal design, Alexandra is very passionate about matters closely related to accessibility and contributing to inclusiveness in the built environment. She often serves as an accessibility advisor in her position at Drees & Sommer Sweden and has supported many clients in that role.

Yesterday Sweden's best-looking office 2024 was crowned! Out of 106 contributions, the one we have been involved with Sölvesborg-Mjällby Sparbank went on to become a top 10 finalist and ultimately landed on place number 7, a great achievement and we could not be prouder.
