Since employees now have more choices in where and when they work, the physical interaction between employer and employee is critical to get right. Creating a Successful Hybrid Office explores the key elements of how an employer can maximize and curate the experience the employee receives and more importantly, deliver a branding that can’t be projected virtually.
