This week we launch our two-part series looking into how workplace design can affect if you work, how you work, and how you feel about work.

Organisational psychologist Professor Alex Haslam explains the history and the psychology of office design and explains how we have ended up with the offices of today including what to some is a swear word, hotdesking.
