What The Talent Wants In Your Office Design
What the talent wants plays a huge role in not only acquisition but office design. When one is in the market for a career change or a new job, expectations are high.

This type of mentality will reduce efficiency in the overall operation, reduce morale, and may contribute to the demise of a productive company culture. It all comes down to accountability and communication.
