Together with Harman Becker, a spatial concept has been developed in which cooperation and rapid exchange are encouraged, but where project spaces and retreat spaces for concentrated cooperation or individual work are also possible. Harman Becker has equipped all of the approx. 500 workstations with ergonomic sitting/standing desks. The workplace/room structure enables rapid response to changes in team sizes. On the ground floor there is a spacious reception area and the Work Café, where employees and guests can meet in a pleasant atmosphere. The Work Café also serves as a recreational area, and can be used by employees for breaks, concentrated work, communication, encounters and exchange. The rooms have been predominantly equipped with Steelcase products.
