Smart chief executives see workplace design as an investment to get the best from their people. Modern workplace design is widely known to boost employee engagement and improve productivity. Employees who can choose where and how they want to work, based on their type of work, are much more engaged. As employees spend most of their waking hours in the workplace, the physical work environment should be essentially considered.

In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
