The Workplace Experience: Office & Corporate Environment Award 2022 celebrates the people, projects or initiatives which have delivered an outstanding experience for all of those who interact with the workplace: employees, visitors and customers alike. Woodhouse Workspace demonstrated positive impact on the workplace experience, by creating a new workspace which is helping: embed culture and values, promoting business growth, and improving health and wellbeing.
The judges were looking for:
- Tools deployed to map existing workplace experience and future need
- Evidence of real collaboration and inclusivity
- Clear connection between the improvement in experience, and how this led to better business outcomes
- Examples of how the workspace and services were shaped to create an overall experience
- Testimonials of what the tangible and measurable difference has been for all those who use and interact with the workspace as a result of the project
Woodhouse entered a recent workspace project they completed at CAE Technology Services, a Hertfordshire headquartered business. Woodhouse created a 30,000 square foot destination workspace for 180 resident staff, clients and visitors through their in-depth workspace strategy process and by designing a workspace that created the optimum home for CAE.
Aggrey Lutta, Culture Director, commented “At CAE, we pride ourselves on having a very strong culture; what is amazing is that Woodhouse have encapsulated the essence of CAE here in this building.” The result of this project is a bustling destination workspace which offers staff a variety of different options in which to collaborate, create, concentrate or simply just be. It is a showcase of the CAE brand and a home in which everyone at CAE, can thrive.
This new workspace continues to facilitate a return to office working following the pandemic, as well as attract new talent, thus providing greater employment opportunities in the local area. CAE will be focussed more on putting the space to different uses for customer and partner engagement, which will be much enhanced by their new facilities.
Richard Behan, Chief Corporate Development Officer said “We like to think of our new headquarters as the heart of CAE: a place where we can all work together, engage with our customers, and host events. We couldn’t have asked for a better design. The feedback across the company is excellent, creating the perfect space for our team – thank you Woodhouse!”
