A dramatic increase from just 34% in early 2024 (KPMG). Most likely thanks to several major companies — including Amazon, the Washington Post, and UPS — making the bold move to bring workers back full-time in 2025, according to Inc.As the workplace continues to evolve, one thing is clear for the majority of businesses: the demand for flexible office spaces is growing. With a notable shift back to the office in 2024 –90% growth in NYC and Miami, according to Placer.ai–companies are embracing new models to balance in-person work and employee flexibility. Mark Goldfinger, US General Manager of Mindspace, is leading the conversation on how businesses are adjusting to the new "return to office" landscape and why flex office space will continue to play a pivotal role in 2025. Why Flex Office Space is Key for 2025:Rising Demand for Hybrid Flexibility: Recent Flex Index data shows 43% of U.S. companies are now implementing structured hybrid models. Flex office spaces offer the perfect solution, with both private and collaborative workspaces available to support these evolving needs.Elevating the Employee Experience: As companies rethink their office environments, providing an exceptional employee experience has become a top priority.

A devoted and determined Marine, he chose the latter, defying the odds and igniting a flame of resilience within himself. Even amidst life-threatening injuries and unimaginable pain, T.Shane summoned the strength to crawl towards a fire station, flatlining three times before embarking on an arduous journey of recovery.Once his body had healed, Johnson made the courageous decision to retire from active service, determined to forge a new path for himself. With unwavering tenacity, he founded and became the CEO of a prosperous mortgage business, proving that setbacks were mere stepping stones to his ultimate success. However, fate had another test in store for him when the 2008 market crash struck, leaving him devastated and homeless for an agonizing stretch of over two years. Refusing to be defined by circumstances, T.Shane summoned the indomitable spirit that had carried him through his near-fatal encounter, working tirelessly to reclaim his life once more.Today, T.Shane stands tall as an esteemed entrepreneur and CEO of several thriving enterprises. But his journey hasn't been solely focused on personal accomplishments. Driven by an unwavering desire to give back, he has dedicated himself to raising funds for homeless veterans and shedding light on the tragic epidemic of veteran suicides. Through multiple treks across the country, he has amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars to support those in need. In a testament to his unwavering determination, T.Shane even set a world record for pushups, further inspiring others to transcend their limits and strive for greatness.Connect with T.Shane today and embark on a transformative journey that will ignite your passion, challenge your limits, and empower you to live the life you were meant to lead. Together, let us conquer obstacles, redefine our narratives, and create a world where the victors outnumber the victims. Enjoy the conversation. ✅ Guest: T.

CCCT sat down with Michelle Horn, VP of Communications with the Fisher House Foundation & Joe Jena, Director, Talent Acquisition with 84 Lumber on "Hire A US Veteran Day".July 25th, 2024, is "National Hire a Veteran Day" (#HireAVeteranDay), a reminder to employers to consider hiring veterans to fill their open positions.Every day, hundreds of our military personnel leave the service in search of civilian employment. However, veterans entering the workforce after military service face a variety of challenges, and vying for civilian positions can be difficult for transitioning veterans. Most military personnel who went straight from high school or college into the military have never applied for a job before. What's worse is the fact that these men and women are having difficulty translating their broad military experiences into private sector employment skills.DID YOU KNOW?:According to the Pew Research Center, there are approximately 18 million veterans in the U.S. today, representing about 6% of the adult population.Roughly 200,000 military members retire or separate from the armed services every year, according to the Department of Labor.A recent survey of 1,000 U.S. military veterans conducted by OnePoll on behalf of the VFW found that finding a job topped the list of challenges, with 33 percent of respondents calling it their biggest hurdle.According to a poll from Employ Inc., 81% of hiring professionals are having trouble filling jobs. Enjoy the conversation.https://fisherhouse.org/https://84lumber.com/#foundation #HireAVeteranDay #militarytraining #employment #labor #bluecollar #skilledlabor
