THE FLEX OFFICE
The insurance company Interpolis just moved in Europe 's biggest 'flex-office'. None of the 1500 employees have their own room or desk. They run around with their 'flex-suitcase' and a company mobile phone to find a free desk. For teamwork there are the 'island-desks', for meetings there are special conference rooms and for individual work there are the cockpits. The interior looks more like a futuristic museum than a head-office. All the employees are satisfied with the new way of working and it is a lot cheaper too. The next step will be teleworking at home. The flexible private work space . Activities: propose idea for item, research and set-up reportage, book camera crew, direction & interviews. more videos
