Thanks for posting. I found most of the articles to be fairly conventional - not much new there (research, flexible hours, etc.); the one article I did find more interesting was the one regarding food and firms eating together. We have a lunch culture at our office. A little pack of us assembles around noon each day to figure out where we are going for lunch. Another group gets their lunches out of the refrigerator and eats it while surfing the web for an hour. Another group never seems to take lunch. I think there is something interesting about the idea of firms being a bit more deliberate in how they interact over food. Imagine an office where you smelled good food cooking. Where you had an intimate dining room to share ideas. Where you had a garden to pick fresh vegetables. It struck me as a really positive way to build a firm culture and identity.

"Imagine an office where you smelled good food cooking. Where you had an intimate dining room to share ideas."

A place where one could go lunch AND learn? Seems very promising. 

Won, 

Your point is very interesting. When visiting some of the top firms in Holland, we found they did exactly what you mention. Mecanoo had their own food growing in spring and summer and all had lunch together every day at this large wooden farmhouse style table. Of course this only works if you have a small firm. But a lovely idea nonetheless.
