The Brief
To tackle the complex issues faced by G4S, 360 Workplace analysed the existing workspace to better understand the unique challenges presented by the merger of two distinct brands.
The task at hand was twofold: increase the workspace’s capacity to accommodate additional employees and redesign the layout to promote effective collaboration and communication

What We Did
One of the most pressing issues encountered was the limited space available for the increased workforce and diverse operational requirements. Our team investigated the existing layout, workflow, and employee interactions. By conducting detailed space assessments and engagement surveys, we were able to identify key areas for improvement and propose comprehensive solutions.
Our strategy included the introduction of innovative desking solutions and the creation of designated work zones. By reconfiguring the office layout, we were able to maximise the use of available space without compromising on comfort or functionality. Additionally, the design included collaborative areas that encouraged employees from different teams to interact organically,
fostering a sense of unity and collaboration.
Our Workplace Strategy team conducted workshops and engagement sessions to involve employees in the design process, ensuring that their opinions and preferences were taken into account. By actively involving the workforce, we were able to cultivate a sense of ownership and excitement about the upcoming changes, which helped alleviate concerns and improve employee satisfaction.
G4S has a diverse workforce with unique job roles and requirements. This complexity presented a challenge for 360 Workplace, as we needed to design a space that catered to a wide array of needs. Through thoughtful space planning and innovative design choices, we successfully integrated solutions tailored to specific departments while maintaining a cohesive and harmonious overall environment.
The Outcome
By optimising the available space, G4S was able to accommodate more employees without sacrificing comfort or productivity. The strategically designed collaborative zones have become hotspots for cross-team interactions, breaking down silos and enhancing communication among employees. These workspace changes have not only improved the company’s efficiency but have also had a positive impact on employee morale and job satisfaction.
