In their words
Intuitively we all want to move, we all need to move, and we feel better — we're more productive — when we move.
We make a lot of assumptions. We assume that the most productive way for you to work is this way, the way these people work, and we neglect the opportunity to ask you what works for you specifically.
Asking people what they want is actually a really cost-effective solution.
