It's great to see positive feedback on our workspace and certainly that flexibility is so important at all of our sites! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gCjJ2ew
Where to work and not to work We’re fortunate to have office space that allows our team to work in various places. We’re not confined to desks from 9 to 5; instead, we have the freedom to choose different areas, both indoors and outdoors, that work best for the individual team member. I believe that having the ability to work where you feel most productive is so important. While we work in digital, which certainly adds more flexibility, I’m interested in hearing others’ thoughts on the importance of adaptable workspaces. Has anyone seen an impact on your productivity through the flexibility of locations?
