Designing Inclusive Offices: Patrick Murphy on ThinkBusiness.ie
Tune in to the latest episode of the ThinkBusiness.ie podcast, where Codex CEO Patrick Murphy explores how Ireland’s offices are being reshaped by hybrid work, technology, and the growing movement toward neuroinclusive design. In Episode 309, Patrick shares how Codex is evolving from a traditional office supplies provider into a workplace solutions partner – helping businesses create environments where everyone can thrive.
From sensory pods and sit-stand desks to thoughtful acoustic design, the conversation highlights how small changes can have a big impact on engagement, productivity, and well-being. Drawing on Codex’s research with neurodivergent employees across Ireland and the UK, Patrick explains why noise, lighting, and social dynamics are key barriers – and how practical design solutions can address them.
“Any business leader would agree that engaged staff is productive staff, and that’s good for business,”.
The episode also explores how hybrid working is redefining the purpose of the office, and why balancing technology with genuine human connection will shape the next decade of workplace design. With insights from Codex’s own headquarters redesign and partnerships with organisations such as AsIAm, Patrick outlines a clear vision for more inclusive, sustainable, and future-ready workspaces.
Have a listen to discover how neuroinclusive design is driving Ireland’s office revolution – and how these ideas could work in your own organisation.
