Recognizing the value in a balance between in-person and flexible work Partner Forces Jenny Stone shared that after 8 years in business the company has moved into new offices. “It was a great investment. Seeing the team in the office, sharing ideas, stories, and lunch (unplanned) was awesome this week. In person working time these days is intentional and made more special because people are choosing to be together.” Knowing that many are figuring out this hybrid work environment, Partner Forces is looking to find and create balance.
