    Get back to the office or you're fired. No? How about: Work remotely as much as you want, that's fine with us. There's a right way and a wrong way to address workplace and remote work situations we now find ourselves in. What if the real impact on your organization, good or bad, depends on how you respond to this? We can create a workplace that's actually worth returning to, where organizations don't mandate people to go back. Your workforce wants to come to the office. How you design that space and the technology you use in that space makes all the difference between success and failure. In this episode Kay Sargent and Brad Sousa unpack the topic of Return to Work. Better yet, they discuss how to create a workplace worth returning to. They also discuss how to design an office that is commute worthy, something that creates human impact for organizations.
