Case Study

Great workplace

What started as a pilot several years ago to help the Company design and build a “Workplace of the Future” has now become an exciting reality. Over the past two years, the Company successfully completed the first phase of the great workplace project. In 2024, several locations were redesigned, including offices at the Cincinnati Campus, as well as in Ocala, Florida, and Torrance, California. Completion of the great workplace project, including the fully redesigned Cincinnati Campus, is scheduled for the end of 2026.

The vision for the great workplace project included reimagining the workplace experience by creating an energizing environment that connects all employees. The engaging design aims to generate a strong sense of community where opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing and employee development are supported by tech-enabled spaces that reinforce our company culture and enhance business performance and productivity.

Key highlights of the great workplace:

Workstation Enhancements: Individual workstations feature ergonomic furniture, multi-use charging stations, wireless connectivity and plenty of natural light to create a comfortable and productive environment. Additionally, noise reducing/absorbing materials help ensure a quiet workspace.

Collaborative Spaces: The new layout features a variety of spaces and meeting rooms to inspire collaboration and knowledge sharing. Meeting rooms feature state-of-the-art technology, large whiteboards and comfortable seating.

Intuitive and Engaging Layout: The open layout is easy to navigate and features updated Company branding throughout, including an eye-catching display of our Company Values.

Environmental Benefits: With the increased adoption of flexible and remote work arrangements, we reevaluated our office space needs, which resulted in a reduction of our real estate footprint and enhanced operational efficiencies.

Community Impact: We partnered with a decommissioning company to donate furniture, fixtures and supplies from the impacted floors, thereby diverting items from landfills.
