Corporate purpose has been a hot trend for a few years, with companies seeking to look beyond the ‘how we do business’, and instead understand and express the ‘why’.

This exercise led us to the belief that there is a positive correlation to employee engagement when people connect with a shared purpose in an inspiring place that supports how they work. Feeling energized with our new purpose, we focused on ensuring that we were offering inspiring places for our employees to work.
Our offices showcase a variety of workspaces and ways of supporting a range of workstyles and needs. They function as working spaces for our team members and as a showroom worklab that shares with our clients the core principles of our purpose, and demonstrate the power of place.
Our new Phoenix showroom opened at the end of 2016 in the vibrant Roosevelt Row district of downtown Phoenix. The environment is designed to nurture physical, cognitive and emotional wellbeing, and is thoughtfully aligned with our organizational purpose, providing the optimal climate for engagement.
In Minneapolis, the story is still unfolding. Our design team is conducting design charrettes and workshops, gathering survey data, and connecting with our A&D and manufacturer partners to ensure we deliver the best solution for our team members and the clients we serve. The new Minneapolis Worklab space will be complete by July 2017.
