We're hearing a lot about how employers want people back in the office 2-3 days a week or more while employees enjoy the flexibility of working remotely. And they've proven that that productivity increases rather than suffers. So, the hybrid workplace is here to stay.

That leads us to today's discussion. With this push-pull between team members and employers, how do we create an inviting workplace that makes people want to return to the office?

Kristin Spiewak from Sharp NEC Display Solutions joined the podcast to share her insights with us.

Kristin and host Nancy Lussier discuss:
- What have we been hearing from customers about the current state of the return to office?
- We want to create a more inviting workplace. Is this a good time to look at a display tech refresh?
- Where can we leverage displays and digital signage throughout the office to engage employees, such as lobbies, conference rooms, and more?
- How do we create a seamless display experience that encourages people to come to the office and delivers meeting equity?
