To design and build an exceptional shared services centre that would attract 400 people to join Worldpay.
Putting Worldpay’s future staff at the heart of the design, we developed spaces to nurture employees’ physical, social and emotional wellbeing.
The new vibrant office positions Worldpay as a digital organisation that supports social engagement and enables great work.
We were appointed to change cultural perceptions about what a financial services company can be – presenting Worldpay as a digital organisation – and attract the right pool of candidates to future-proof their success.
Using insights to make the right decisions
Starting from scratch meant we were working with a blank canvas. We teamed up with Worldpay’s recruitment agency, who were conducting psychometric analysis for their perfect candidates. Using this research helped influence a design that would go above and beyond the original brief.
Shaping a complete cultural shift
Worldpay didn’t want prospective candidates to view them as a financial services company. They wanted to be seen as a digital organisation. So, it was important to exude a digital vibe – a human-centric one.
The new environment appeals to their prospects, introducing plenty of social and collaborative areas with comfortable seating. Worldpay’s future employees’ physical, social and emotional wellbeing was considered throughout every step of the design process.
The new tech-enabled workplace embraces a vibrant colour scheme and provides plenty of fresh air and natural light.
Getting everyone excited for what’s to come
We used our unique, immersive technology tools to help employees visualise what a day in the life at their soon-to-be workspace would look like. This got the organisation excited, prepared everyone for a smooth transition, and fed into their recruitment efforts to help attract talent.
Worldpay were so pleased with the outcome they commissioned us to take on their London HQ.
This is absolutely nothing like a conventional financial services office. Our people and visitors love it here.
