In this episode of Place of work, M Moser Group Director Nabil Sabet is joined by our newest team member, Director, Sam Farhang, to discuss how companies can use holistic design as a tool to engage employee desires, motivations and expectations, and use what we’ve learned about connections to build even more meaningful ones.
