Experiences from the WeOffice Certification Course for Workplace Strategists
The WeOffice certification course in workplace strategy is more than just training – it is an experience that engages, inspires, and equips participants with tangible tools. The course combines research-based knowledge with practical exercises, interactive discussions, and case studies, enabling participants to apply what they learn directly in real workplace contexts.

Whether you work as a project manager, HR specialist, architect, workplace strategist, interior designer, or change manager, the course provides a solid foundation for developing workplaces that strengthen both the organisation and its employees. It also offers tools to understand how different workplaces influence productivity, collaboration, and well-being – crucial elements in creating sustainable work environments.

The course is led by Dr Aram Seddigh, a chartered psychologist and economist with extensive experience in research on how workplaces affect employees and organisations. His unique combination of academic expertise and practical experience ensures that the course is both scientifically grounded and immediately applicable. Aram explains complex theories in an accessible manner and demonstrates how methods can be applied across various organisational contexts.

Engagement and Structure

Participants appreciate the course’s structure, which alternates between theory and practice to create dynamic and inspiring learning. Each day is carefully planned to provide knowledge, reflection time, and interaction with both the instructor and fellow participants.

“Very good structure, with relevant exam questions. Great atmosphere. Unpretentious. Well organised at the company.”
– Caroline Axelsson

The course begins with a review of current research on office layouts, work environments, and employee performance. This gives participants a strong foundation before moving on to more practical exercises. They also gain access to frameworks and methods, such as Workplace Adequacy™, which support them in analysing organisational needs and developing strategies that work in practice.

“Good start with research, useful exercises, and a clear, practical thread throughout the course. Great mix of exercises and theory. Fun to meet others and exchange experiences.”
– Elin Holst Granlund

Practical Exercises and Networking

One of the course’s greatest strengths is the practical exercises and case studies participants work on. Here, they practise everything from analysing existing workplaces to designing strategies and recommendations for the future. Smaller groups facilitate dialogue and discussion, allowing participants to share experiences and reflect on solutions together.

“The course was very inspiring, fun to meet colleagues in the same situation, and wonderful to work with well-supported analyses and tools to methodically reach a solution.”
– Hanna Wallstedt

In addition to practical exercises, participants have opportunities to network and connect with other professionals, often leading to new ideas, collaborations, and continued discussions after the course ends. Comparing solutions with peers and discussing challenges adds an extra dimension of learning and inspiration.

The course trains participants to:

• Analyse current workplaces and identify areas for improvement
• Develop strategies that strengthen both the organisation and its employees
• Implement solutions methodically, based on evidence and sustainability
• Communicate results and recommendations to management and employees

This combination of theory, practice, and networking ensures that participants leave the course with concrete tools, clear strategies, and increased confidence in their role as workplace strategists.

The WeOffice certification course for workplace strategists is, therefore, an inspiring, practically oriented, and evidence-based programme that equips participants with both the knowledge and the capability to develop the workplaces of the future. The certification also serves as proof that participants master both the theory and the methods, enhancing their professional profile and competence.
