How to Embrace a Cultural Shift and a Collaborative Workplace Model for the Future

EPM Group is a public services company headquartered in Medellín, Colombia.

EPM recently wanted to leverage the re-design of its iconic 15-story office building as an opportunity to transform its organizational culture—from one of hierarchical decision-making to a culture that fosters continuous improvement and superior customer experience.

Recognizing its 4,000 employees as EPM’s greatest asset, the project team delivered a people-centric redesign to better support well-being and performance through spaces that foster collaboration and bring value to business practices.

EPM partnered with Haworth to run diagnostics and collect data to identify the issues that impact human, organizational, and facilities performance.

This research forms the foundation for Haworth’s Organic Workspace® approach to space planning. Haworth’s approach for creating value-driven customized workplace solutions takes place early in the design process through a collaborative change management approach that translates workplace research and knowledge into a conceptual applied design strategy.

Change management took a two-prong approach: with managers and employees, the results shows the investment in the new office space has increased the performance of the human capital by 6.64 percent.

Now in the midst of a global pandemic, how will the company navigate the challenges and continue to endorse a collaborative culture in a world that push for social distancing? Join us to discover strategies applied.
