I remember walking the halls of our King Plow office for more than nine months, surrounded only by quiet and stillness. It was the spring, summer and fall of 2020, the height of COVID-19. The world was absent … remote.
Business leaders across the US and beyond faced workplace decisions that were not only cultural but also economical as lease renewals approached. Do we reduce or renew to accommodate the needs of the new, flexible workplace? What followed was a slow hodge podge of returning scenarios, all designed unintentionally to compromise the very fabric of company culture.
After operating as one of these flex workplaces within a space that has left us a paler shade of the culture we once had, we’ve opted to leave our progressive, industrial home of 20-plus years.
As the first occupants in our new space, we were given a clean slate. A chance to start anew and design a place that fits the needs of our organization rather than trying to force our company to fit the needs of the space. We traded space for connection and lower rent for collaboration. We designed a space where the energy is organically present, regardless of the headcount that day. When talent does come in, they are no longer on the ground but high up with views as far as potential can see.
So, look for us at the new Interlock Tower, Ninth Floor. We’ll try not to make too much noise.
