Workplace Design Communicates

Twelve percent were actively looking, and 44% said they would consider a better offer.
Your employees are out shopping and potential employees are also shopping you.

“Less than ½ of those who would choose to telework would do so more than 2 days per week”
“Most Americans still choose the office for the majority of their work week.”
