Please join CREW Northern Virginia for a panel discussion on the War on Office Design. Does the open office actually boost creativity and productivity or is it creating an environment that’s extremely difficult for people to concentrate due to sound levels and visual distractions? Join us for this heated debate to learn the effects an open office is having on employees as well as better solutions to the open office and how is it impacting our quality of work.
