Foster Connection

Gensler’s Global Survey emphasizes that engaged employees prioritize learning and socializing as critical to their performance. At Atlassian, they’ve found that team gatherings have a big impact on the sense of connectedness across a team, with productivity boosts averaging 27%.

We have intentionally designed our spaces to foster these connections, with open meeting areas and a spacious cafe, we've emphasized spaces that encourage both planned and spontaneous collaboration.

Promote Well-Being

MillerKnoll's latest data report underscores the essential role of well-being in the workplace –particularly in hybrid environments. It highlights the importance of offering flexibility for employees while ensuring their wellness needs are met.

Our spaces reflect this commitment by incorporating biophilic design principles and dedicated wellness areas – including a Mother’s Room and Wellness Room – promoting physical and mental health. We aim to foster a culture where employees feel encouraged thrive, aligning our space with the report’s findings on the benefits of thoughtfully-designed spaces to support individual well-being.

Embrace Change

Gensler's recent Global Survey of 16,000 office workers highlights the strong connection between employee engagement and workplace effectiveness. The results indicate that highly-engaged employees spend less time working individually – 34% compared to 44% – underscoring the importance of providing spaces that foster connection and adapt to employees' needs throughout the day.

We have chosen to apply this learning through a minimalistic approach to permanent structures in our own spaces, opting for adaptable designs that can evolve alongside changing demands. This flexibility is essential for creating a workplace that effectively meets the diverse needs of our people and teams.
