  "description": "How office location, building tier, and workplace experience shape talent attraction and retention.",
  "oneSentenceAnswer": "Workplace talent strategy treats the office as a recruitment and retention asset: location density, transit access, base-building amenity, and WELL/Fitwel-grade workplace experience now measurably move hiring conversion and attrition.",
  "tldr": [
    "Commute time predicts attrition more reliably than salary in most Tier 1 markets.",
    "Trophy and prime tier buildings out-perform on senior hiring conversion.",
    "WELL/Fitwel workplace experience reduces sick days and lifts engagement.",
    "Submarket selection sets the talent catchment — match it to your hiring strategy.",
    "Hub-and-spoke geography expands catchment without diluting culture."

  "faqs": [
    {
      "question": "Does the building actually move attrition?",
      "answer": "Commute time and workplace experience both move attrition measurably — typically 5–15% effect size at the building level, larger for commute."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is WELL worth it for talent?",
      "answer": "Yes. WELL Gold reports 5–15% higher occupant satisfaction and 10–25% lower sick days; ROI typically 2–3x the incremental fit-out cost."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do I run a commute analysis?",
      "answer": "Use the Commute Score Tool on your current employee residences, layered against the 60-minute transit catchment of each candidate submarket."
    },
    {
      "question": "Does building tier matter for senior hiring?",
      "answer": "Yes — 5–12% higher offer-acceptance for trophy/prime tier in survey data across major Tier 1 markets."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can hub-and-spoke replace a single HQ?",
      "answer": "It can — and increasingly does — for distributed teams. Quarterly in-person culture rituals at the HQ keep the model coherent."
