Episode 4
The dynamic relationship between workplace and hospitality has a long history. From business trips and working lunches to in-office amenities and even workplace design, we've seen the line between work and leisure become more blurred.

In this episode, we explore how the hospitality industry might hold the answers to creating the future of work.
