New Co-working Space Inspires In-Office Innovation
Lehi, UT (PRWEB) July 20, 2016 -- BGZ brands, the parent company of mobile accessory brands: BodyGuardz, Lander and Moxyo, which has seen impressive growth, has opened a new corporate headquarters.
Flooded with natural light and music, the custom-designed office aims to create a unique and compelling environment where innovative thinking and the world’s best products can be created.
By expanding upon the popular “open office” concept, BGZ brands has created what is best described as a "co-working" environment: a unique and compelling balance between personal space and collaborative war rooms…an employee’s home away from home.
"It is our belief that people thrive, both professionally and personally, when given a space that makes them feel comfortable, as well as creatively empowered," said Kirk Feller, CEO and president, BGZ brands. "Every department in this company is vital to our success, and what we've created is a place where our people can work together as part of collective team, as well as find a couch or another comfortable spot where they can privately channel their thoughts and creativity."
Because each employee is unique, the executive and creative teams worked painstakingly to invent an environment where multiple design aesthetics are fused together in an effort to inspire "unforced" social interactions and maximize the power and effectiveness of each employee. Various design highlights, include:
*Collaboration "War Rooms”: Strategically placed open spaces featuring wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling white boards for product brainstorming
*Reconfigurable Furniture: Thoughtful furniture throughout the building allows for both large and small standing or seated impromptu meetings
*Networked HDTVs: Local and building-wide connected Apple TV and Chromecast equipped televisions enable wireless presentations and group screen sharing
*Brand Study Lounges: Individual brand inspired spaces featuring adjustable laptop stands, comfortable retro-styled couches, chairs and benches
*Personal Work Spaces: Each employee enjoys an adjustable standing/seated desk, and the computer platform of their choice
*Sound-Proof Phone booths: Delivers added call privacy and flexibility for employees to handle both business and personal matters
*Inter-Department Collaboration Station: 30-foot standing table, the centerpiece of the main office area, bring departments together in a spirit of openness and teamwork
*Beautiful Lunch Room & Corporate Meeting Space: Featuring exposed metal beams, colorful chairs that flank easily moveable wooden tables, a ping pong table, two satellite-equipped HDTVs, a gaming system, a presentation projector, as well as company snacks make this space perfect for company gatherings
*Zoned-Music: Multi-zoned speaker system allows for a wide variety of music to be played by employees throughout the building
*Branded Company Bikes: To encourage its employee to spend time together, as well as inspire increased activity and fitness, BGZ brands designed a fleet of bikes for daily employee use
In that light, BGZ brands has enacted an active co-working culture where they support their people through true autonomy and the freedom to bring their best selves to the workplace. The on-going Coworking Project from the University of Michigan discovered that employees in co-working rather than traditional office environments demonstrate meaningfully higher levels of engagement and creativity.
"It's not about staring your colleagues in the face all day long across long picnic tables," said Jeremy Saxton, senior director of design, BGZ brands. "In our minds it's about creating an office experience that our work family loves, where they're encouraged and empowered to make meaningful differences on behalf of the company. If our employees are passionate about the company and excited to get to the office, and it’s impossible to put a price tag on that."
