Their flexible work environment has been key to reducing recrui ng costs, improving reten on, and boos ng produc vity—all benefits that turned an ini al investment into a long-term business savings. Those same benefits also reduced the firm's real estate footprint—saving money that has been reinvested in "extras" for the space—and improved the quality of service delivered to clients. Engaged employees "We've taken advantage [of] how space affects people's moods and feelings and engagement at work. And so [the reinvestment of cost savings] is going to increase our reten on, and our engagement, which then can allow us to con nue to reinvest because we've got a talented and engaged workforce." –Director Efficient employees "[Working] at different client sites and then having a loca on that's very close to where you live allows you to have that flexibility on the days that you don't have to be on site. You have less of a commute, you don't have to worry about where you're going, and you know that you have a place—when you go to that office—where you can sit. It's really convenient." –Lead Associate Seamless collabora on "Using the tools that they have here like the wireless screens and being able to connect from wherever you are in the Center, that's helped us not only to cri que but to [improve] the quality of our work. I've learned and developed a lot more here than I would in a tradi onal workspace." –UX Designer Work-life balance "Using the mobility tools, I was able to get my mom through cancer, get her to treatments [by a ending mee ngs from my car]. Nobody knew any different—I was, as far as they were concerned, si ng right at my desk." –Technical Lead
