## Resource

📍 Recorded Live at NeoCon/Design Days 2025 Straight out of the MillerKnoll Fulton Market showroom, this episode brings the energy—and a fresh perspective on our evolving relationship with the office. Kristina sits down with Ryan Anderson, VP of Global Research & Insights at MillerKnoll, to unpack the new RTO. Not Return to Office—but Reattach to Office—and why that shift might be the key to rebuilding connection, creativity, and culture. They get into: Why people crave connection from their workplace more than ever How to design for relationships instead of just roles and routines What AI can take off your plate—and how to reinvest that time wisely The real challenges (and opportunities) of leading distributed teams How communicating a space’s why can change how people show up If you’re rethinking hybrid work, rebuilding culture, or designing spaces people actually want to be in—this one’s for you. It’s a sharp, human-centered take on what the new RTO really requires: clarity, connection, and a deep understanding of who it’s all for. 🎙️ It’s not just about why people show up—it’s about who they show up for.
