This discussion understands the concept of the ‘future workplace’ in a holistic way, i.e. including new forms of web based technology as well as new ways of working together. Respective scientific literature has already discussed social media to play a major role for the workplace, as social collaboration, social workplace and social business are already ubiquitously used terms. But what are major trends and drivers of the future workplace? This position paper presents results of recently conducted study on the future workplace, where 16 experts from academia and industry have been interviewed, to launch the discussion on a research agenda for holistic future workplace research.
