Hettich Business Lounge


Our customers' changing requirements call for increased flexibility in organisation and processes. For the people working at Hettich this means being adaptable at all times.
 
Since the beginning of 2005, our internationally mobile employees work in an innovative office landscape: the Hettich Business Lounge. This is a work environment that meets today's requirements for flexibility, functionality and good ergonomics. Individuality is just as much at home here as teamwork at short notice. Even spontaneous conferences are possible. State-of-the-art communication technology makes a videoconference with Atlanta as easy as an internet phone call to Japan.



Our innovative office concept: The aims
Our modern office concept aims to achieve maximum transparency, efficiency and economy. We've created a work atmosphere based on openness, communication and flexibility. By using the “Office 21 Future Forum” concept developed by the Fraunhofer Institute with its desk-sharing principle, we were able to save 25% of costs for space, IT and building infrastructure installations. Employees are not locked in to a single workplace, so that new teams can be set up from day to day, depending on the requirements of different projects.

We believe in communication – personal, international and spontaneous. In the Hettich Business Lounge you'll meet colleagues from projects all over the world.

We believe in a holistic approach, which means integrating people and the workplace.

We also rely on sophisticated information technology for global information exchange, Internet telephony and video conferences for global communication.

Innovative office concept: The implementation
The 180 m2 of office space, with single and shared offices, Creativity Chill-out workplaces and Convenience Corners, provides for nearly every type of office environment.


We often use our offices as a testing ground for our new office furniture concepts. Feedback from colleagues contributes to product development, so that our customers profit from our experience. We enjoy living and working in the world that we create and market together with our customers.
Innovative office concept: The bigger story
This office concept is part of our overall concept “Office 21 at Hettich”. Linked to this is participation in the benchmark project “Office Excellence” together with the management agency Macils. It's another milestone in the development of an attractive office landscape at the beginning of the 21st century.
