The Office as a Third Place: Reimagining Connection and Culture

For decades, the office wasn’t just where we worked, it was where we connected, shared ideas, and built culture. But as hybrid work reshapes our routines, many companies are struggling to recreate that sense of belonging.

In this episode, Cilia Rasasegram, Chief Experience Officer at Kindler Employee Experience Project, joins us to explore the idea of the office as a “third place”, a social hub that bridges the gap between home and work. She shares how experience design, leadership rituals, and spatial psychology can transform ordinary offices into environments people genuinely want to return to.
