SAN DIEGO—Day-to-day influences like your office space can affect how employees interact, what they do and if they have common interests and behaviors—all of which add up to company culture, Cushman & Wakefield tenant rep Kevin Meissner tells GlobeSt.com. We recently spoke exclusively with Meissner, who has written a thought piece on the subject, on how office space and culture work together to create a successful company.
GlobeSt.com: In what ways does a company's office space affect its culture?
Meissner: Company culture may not be easy to define, but you know it when you feel it. It's a result of the blending of abstract and concrete factors, including day-to-day influences like your office space. These elements of a company impact both employees and clients on levels ranging from the subliminal to the most immediate decision-making considerations.
