Project Insights: Siemens Headquarters’ Workspace Storage Solutions

Siemens New Way of Working, with Hollman Workspace Lockers

INTRODUCTION

The team at Siemens was interested in creating a modern office for their employees. Siemens headquarters chose Hollman Lockers to create workspace storage solutions for their new office. They worked together with Hollman’s sales and design teams to develop a functional and flexible workspace.

Siemens has been adapting to the open-concept workspace throughout the years. In an article from 2012 about their new Orlando office, Siemens branded the term, NewWOW. Short for “New Way of Working,” the design allowed the company to trade the traditional office culture for added collaboration as it downsized its quarters. Based on the “hotel concept,” which lets employees move among desks equipped with phones and computers, the New Way of Working goes further by providing both computing power and phone service via portable laptops. It also includes workspace lockers. The lockers allow employees to stash their belongings when they’re not using them.

CHALLENGE

Siemens headquarters’ team laid out their goals for their new workspace. Firstly, they wanted their lockers to have a few pops of color. Secondly, to allow employees to move around freely. Thirdly, to offer a lock system that wouldn’t require a key or code.

SOLUTION + BENEFIT

Siemens headquarters got a high-quality product with all of the features they wanted with Hollman’s workspace lockers’ help. Hollman assembled lockers with multi-colored laminate doors. Popular colors such as red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and more add a tasteful hint of color to the white lockers. The team went with a laminate interior for a clean finishing touch.

There is a mix of two-tier and four-tier lockers. Both are the same dimensions of 15W x 24D x 72H, which provides employees with plenty of space to store their belongings. In turn, the lockers allow employees to move around freely throughout the office.

Hollman also installed a Vecos lock system on the lockers. Vecos is a smart lock that allows users to access their locker through an app on their phones. Most importantly, no keys or combination codes are required to get into their lockers. As a result, the smart locks are extremely user-friendly.

RESULTS

In conclusion, Hollman’s workspace lockers were the perfect solution to fit Siemens headquarters office needs. Siemens headquarters workspace lockers feature a touchless security solution provided by Vecos and a flexible storage solution provided by Hollman.

        Project Insights: PayPal Philippines Headquarters Workspace Lockers

        “As an organization, PayPal champions innovation, collaboration, inclusion, and wellness. All of these are themes that resonate with Filipinos, particularly with millennials. The new office puts these values in full display at its Alabang office.” Workspace lockers.

        INTRODUCTION

        PayPal’s new headquarters in the Philippines is open and ready to fill 1,000 jobs by the end of 2020. In order to add 1,000 jobs, PayPal needed to create a workspace that would meet the needs of its employees. By teaming up with Hollman Lockers, PayPal’s Philippines Headquarters office space added hundreds of workspace lockers.

        CHALLENGE

        PayPal’s team’s primary focus was to create a custom design that accommodated the needs of their 700+ employees. Firstly, they wanted their workspace lockers to include their brand colors. Secondly, to offer versatile functionality. Lastly, to allow employees the ability to move around the office for open collaboration.

        SOLUTION + BENEFIT

        The teams at Hollman and PayPal collaborated to bring PayPal’s workspace storage solution designs to life for the site of their new operations in the Philippines. The result was a combination of workspace locker solutions to maximize functionality for their 700+ employees.

        For the hallways, the PayPal team chose a unique design of custom-made inset doors with laminate interiors. These workspace lockers also feature color accents with custom matching edge-banding of the PayPal brand Pantone colors.

        Hollman created two-tier, laminate lockers in a white high-gloss finish. These workspace lockers offer dual functionality that serves as both a marker board and magnet for the open workspace.

        Moreover, the PayPal team also requested a graduated locker configuration of custom lockers to divide the space. The configurations consisted of single-tier, double-tier, and triple-tier laminate lockers. Additionally, the division of space also serves as a social distancing barrier.

        RESULTS

        Overall, with Hollman workspace lockers‘ help, these workspace storage solutions seamlessly fit into the PayPal office space to maximize employee productivity and provide social distancing barriers. “The new office consists of rest areas, a karaoke room, a games area, and a modern cafeteria complete with built-in LED screens and sound system. To encourage teamwork and connectivity among employees, the workspace features open collaboration zones and Wi-Fi on all floors.”
