In this episode, I get to chat with Monica Parker (@monicaparker) from Hatch Analytics https://hatchanalytics.com/ and we chat about something that has interested me for years. I have spent a fair bit of time in different workplaces and they had profound effects on how I felt both on specific days and overtime. So, I am really excited that I am going to get to explore this with our guest today.

Looking to the physical workplace is something that is huge right now. Whether that be trying to imitate google with slides and bean bags, considering the emotional impact of things like space, temperature and desks or the need/preference for remote working. all of these things (and more) have emotional input, consequences and often, in my experience, this emotional aspect is forgotten or relegated to low priority. For me, it has to start with emotion and how people feel and work out from there. Then again, I would say that I suppose.
