In this episode of ATD's *Accidental Trainer* podcast, economists and authors Natalia Emanuel and Emma Harrington share insights from their new book, *In Person: How Working Together Fuels Creativity, Productivity, and Growth*. The two explore what organizations gain when people spend time together, from mentorship and learning to creativity, work friendships, and trust. Natalia and Emma are quick to point out that this isn't a remote-versus-in-person debate. Instead, they focus on how organizations can preserve the benefits of flexibility while creating the conditions for learning, mentorship, creativity, and connection to thrive. **Resources:** - Grab your copy of In Person: [ ](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/795672/in-person-by-natalia-emanuel-phd-and-emma-harrington-phd/) - Natalia's LinkedIn: [](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliaemanuel) - Emma's LinkedIn:
