• Use modular workspaces that foster collaboration and group problem solving.
• Provide a variety of workspaces that remote working environments typically lack (e.g., spaces for large group and client meetings, small group collaborations, etc.).
• Use employee surveys to help identify trends within your organization. 
• Reduce assigned workspaces, and instead utilize unassigned, single-user workspaces that are flexible and configurable for two to four people when needed.
