Unlock the secrets to a more productive and satisfying work environment as Jen and Alejandro from Ampersand Consulting dissect the ins and outs of hybrid work frameworks on this episode of "Looking Forward." Get ready to explore the hub-and-spoke model, where centralizing resources at main hubs can streamline efficiency and management but also presents challenges like resource disparities and coordination complexities across locations.

We'll discuss the perks of having a structured work environment and the social benefits that come with it while also addressing potential pitfalls, such as the inconvenience of long commutes and the irony of staff showing up only to sit in virtual meetings. Hear our insights on the importance of equipping offices with resources like headphones for effective communication in open-plan spaces.
