#304: As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern work environments, the debate surrounding remote work versus in-office setups remains a hot topic. Companies are constantly reevaluating their strategies when it comes to talent retention, with the return to office being a significant point of discussion.

On one hand, working in an office provides the opportunity for direct human interaction. This option can be particularly beneficial for those who are younger or new to the field, as they can directly learn and collaborate with their colleagues. Furthermore, for some individuals, an office environment provides the structure and engagement they need, preventing feelings of isolation that sometimes accompany remote work.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor tackle what it take to retain top talent in 2025.
