If you want to inspire your employees to embrace leadership and strive for promotions, it’s wise to include a tiered level of access to increasingly impressively designed spaces. Traditionally, there was a “corner office” that employees could strive to get promoted to, but as businesses have moved to a more open concept, this approach needs to be reconsidered. At MCI, we can help you map out your desired trajectory for your team and design exclusive spaces (i.e. executive lounges, leadership breakout areas, etc) that will inspire them to move to the next level.
