The workplace needs a rebrand. Design lead Doug Shapiro asked himself “If we didn’t feel like we had to drag ourselves to an office, would we feel differently about it?”

Takeaways from Pia and Dan
- A place can shape how we bring ourselves to work as individuals, and as members of a team.
- Work is in a state of flux around place, with the balance of power shifting between employers and employees.
- In order to flourish and get things done together, we need to look at our individual needs without becoming too individualistic in our thinking.
