Like a lot of other businesses, its staff are keen on hybrid working, or a mix of days at home and in the office. Unlike others, it has been able to give up the leases on two of its Californian offices, one in San Francisco that housed about 35 people and a larger one in Los Angeles that had roughly 100.
It has decided to experiment to see if it can replace those offices with what its chief operating officer, Gary Rudnick, calls âinspirationalâ work spots that spur the collaboration and energy he thinks the best away days instil.
âThe off-site is a special day,â Rudnick told me from his Chicago home last week. âEverybodyâs jazzed up. Everybodyâs got their creative juices going.â
