The future of work: It's complicated.

The last year's big shift to remote work had some pluses (see: productivity, flexibility), but there were also downsides (see: childcare, "Please unmute"). Some early company plans are signaling that, even with vaccines, we're not just gonna all go back to the office. What does this mean for place? Is it equitable?

There's a lot to work out, and the answers aren't yet clear. But we gotta talk about it so we can prepare. So we're hosting a live forum this Friday at 12 p.m. EST on future of work trends. Join our public Slack to the conversation.
