Organisation
We organise ourselves across disciplines through working communities
By organising across disciplines and breaking down silos, we want to ensure stronger cohesion between strategy, project and operations. We will increase employee engagement and ensure that decisions are made by those closest to the task and challenges. Finally, we believe it creates a more authentic and even more meaningful culture, as employees in coworking communities are motivated to bring their whole personality to work.
