Is the office making a comeback? Is remote work a fading trend? And how can workplace design improve employee engagement, wellbeing and performance?

Join the conversation as we discuss:
Top 10 ways to get employees back in the office
How the office can improve performance and creativity
The impact of great design on employee wellbeing
Why tech companies are no longer the ‘gold standard
What it takes to be a sustainable workplace
