When I talk to companies in Waterloo Region about their business plans, strategies and goals, they put an enormous emphasis on the “War for Talent”. Companies everywhere are competing for good employees.

A typical conversation with a company from Kitchener or Waterloo sounds a little like this:

John has spent a lot of time on this topic and believes whole-heartedly that office space should reflect a company's culture, and in fact, that office space can influence and even create corporate culture.
