WFH has revealed some home truths: not all our homes are conducive to working, yet the cold fluorescence of the corporate work floor lacks the incentive for many to return.
WMK is currently exploring the evolution of the office with several different organisations, and as our clients encourage their people to return, they are recognising that the feel of their workspace is just as important as its function.
