What do you do with your extra spaces in the office? Have you thought about making them welcoming discussion, cool down, collaborative spaces? Employees really thrive with a space to grab a drink and be able to discuss their family vacation to an important detail in a project. However, upper management must start this ‘culture’ for the associates to follow. Everyone thinks it is a little taboo to be able to be comfortable at the office. Offices of today are made to discuss, collaborate and problem solve in a very relaxed environment
