ISSUE IN BRIEF
The length of road travelled along a topic that has long interested Briefing – where and how we work – is quite astonishing. From the urgent matter of ensuring that everyone could manage to work from home, there is now a very serious conversation being held about what office spaces are for. Now last month, Linklaters became first to announce a new approach to agile working.
NEED TO HEAR IT

TURNING THE AGE
Charlotte Eberlein, head of marketing and business development at Thomson Snell & Passmore, discusses a long history of responding to change, including a rather sudden shift to oversee early in 2020.
