The Challenge
In a major restructuring of their international Facilities Management regime, a healthcare company sought regional office workplace optimisation.
There was an acute need at one large office facility in Lisbon, where the incumbent provider had failed to implement satisfactory corporate governance. Over time, this had resulted in a notable deterioration of the workplace environment.
“This collaboration has been an essential and fantastic alignment. Together we are able to provide proper innovation and a better service”
The Solution
Upon assuming responsibility of the Lisbon offices, we implemented four strategies towards radically improving office conditions.
- At the outset, we conducted a comprehensive air quality audit. This highlighted issues with implications for employee health, resulting in an immediate action plan to upgrade air filters and the main A/C unit.
- Working together with staff, we designed a new canteen menu with ‘lifestyle’ options including vegetarian and low-fat dishes.
- We put a system in place to guarantee robust corporate governance and a superior workplace experience.
- We implemented a programme of energy optimisation, leveraging natural light and cutting-edge smart technologies.
On the basis of all we achieved, we were awarded a contract extension in 2017.
