But, this past month — and this week — set new records in recent years. In fact, we hit a post-pandemic record for office occupancy in the top 10 […]

If you’ve been watching corporate America lately, you might think hybrid work is on the brink of extinction.

THIS IS A PROMOTED POST By Chane Huang Coolpo Hybrid work is here to stay. It’s no secret that the workforce looks different than it did three years ago (or even one year ago), and changes in work come with changes in expectations. It’s no longer enough to throw a camera anywhere in a conference […]

Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate.
