Returning to work (again)
So, how are industries doing as we, once again, emerge from the cocoon after another round of office-closures?
CLIENT WORK: Auto Trader - Dynamic Working
Like almost all of us, Auto Trader have been designing a new way to work that brings the very best out of their people. With a stunning new campus and a big focus on collaboration, they wanted to encourage people back ‘into the office’ – but with the flexibility for them to work how they work best. They called it ‘Connected Working’.
