Yet, after some time spent reflecting, almost everyone realizes there were signs along the way, and they simply missed them or ignored them.

With the increased interest in reskilling and upskilling existing workforces, companies are looking for more training and development content and realizing that higher education has a lot to offer.

It is because a decorated office is much more than just aesthetics. It’s the aesthetics combined with utility, which makes or breaks an employee’s enthusiasm to get to work. A beautifully equipped office also has positive effects on employee productivity and better hiring as well.
