Place is about more than just our location / by Evan La Ruffa

The equation for liking your job has totally changed.

It’s gotten a lot more practical, real, & personal.

Colleagues kids invading Zoom calls, family logistics reworked, and a fresh face to the employer/employee relationship.

But all we want is for work to be a part of our lives, as opposed to the entire thing.

That’s why offices need to be cooler & teams need to be agile, both of which prove that location is more about workflow, process, & collaboration that just clocking in.

Companies that…

1. Embrace art in their office & culture

2. Help employees engage outside of the deliverables of the job, and

3. Give back to real causes that create a sense of mission beyond the logo…

… will all have the upper hand.

Art, connection, community.

We need them across our entire lives to be healthy, happy, & productive.

Luckily, employers seem to be getting the memo … slowly.
