"Getting together is hugely important because you need to socialise, you need to bond and be creative," says Craig Walker, founder and CEO of cloud communication platform Dialpad. "But the idea of people going to an office and sitting there all day, every day, with their laptops and then going home, that’s going to be a thing of the past."

In an interview with Reuters, Walker said: "We’ll be thinking of offices more as clubhouses. If one day a week the marketing team needs it to get together for a social thing, that’s great and that’s when they can use the clubhouse."
