While remote work offers flexibility, at Young, we believe the best ideas, decisions, and teamwork happen face-to-face.
Our office is more than just a workplace—it’s a hub for creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Studies show that spontaneous, in-person interactions lead to higher creativity and problem-solving. Research from MIT found that the most valuable communication happens informally, not in scheduled virtual meetings. Being in the same space allows teams to brainstorm, iterate, and execute ideas faster and more effectively.
Beyond productivity, teamwork and company culture are stronger when we work together. Employees who collaborate in person build deeper trust and engagement, leading to higher motivation and performance. At Young, we see how working side by side strengthens relationships, accelerates learning, and fosters a sense of belonging. Additionally, decision-making is significantly faster. McKinsey research shows that companies with in-person collaboration make decisions 25% quicker than those working remotely. When challenges arise, solving them together ensures efficiency and agility in everything we do.
At Young, we believe that the energy, creativity, and problem-solving that happen in person simply can’t be replicated remotely. While flexibility has its place, collaboration, culture, and innovation thrive when we share the same space. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to fostering an environment where people connect, ideas flow, and teams excel together. Because at Young, the future of work isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about building something great, side by side.
