Think about that.” Expressing his frustration at all the proposed firearm safety measures that have been blocked by Congress, he added; “For God’s sake how much more carnage are we willing to accept?” (Images: Muse by Clio/ AdAge) https://rianswart.co.za/

The office is in crisis.   Here’s an idea to encourage teams to actually show up to work.   Run your office like it’s a club.    A club is a place people enjoy going to and spending time in.   It’s rewarding, engaging and stimulating.   It’s open all hours, seven days a week.   It encourages you to stay longer (but doesn’t insist that you do).   People are proud to be members.   How would it work for an agency?   Firstly: you’d have a core of full-time salaried people who would run the club.   Like, 100 out of 400.   The other members would be paid a retainer.   And there would be associate members who would work on a project basis (they’d still have access to the club facilities).   Too many people used to leave BBH because they wanted to pursue other interests.   A club structure wouldn’t stand in the way of this.   Tech companies have campuses. Creative companies should run clubs.   There.   Has anyone seen this happening already?   #office #club #hospitality #work
