ATREVIA has officially opened the doors of its new headquarters in Barcelona. More than 2,000 square meters house almost 100 collaborators of the consultancy in the Catalan capital. The facilities, designed and executed by Steelcase, are also intended to be an innovation hub that serves as an incubator for communication startups. Among the extraordinary measures adopted to achieve this is creating a technology development center for the sector and acquiring new talent to reinforce the Creativity and Digital areas.
ATREVIA also promotes from this new headquarters, led by its Vice President Isabel Grifoll, a new cross-cutting and collaborative way of working between the people, the departments, and the countries in which ATREVIA has a presence. Thus, different room formats have been designed for teamwork, multipurpose areas, and also highlighting an auditorium for 250 people and catering spaces for both events and the employees themselves.
The spaces are organized in a free-seat model, fostering interaction and an innovation ecosystem model to adapt to flexibility and promote collaborative work, which is part of ATREVIA’s culture, and the market demands. Further, landlines and desktops are not anymore part of the equipment; each employee has a laptop and a mobile phone. Another feature is that the new office is “paperless,” where shelves, drawers, and cabinets are not included. In addition to tremendous respect for the environment, reducing paper usage gives more freedom to work anywhere since the essential documents are on laptops and mobile phones.
ATREVIA promotes the health and well-being of the people who work in the company. For this reason, it facilitates employees to commute to work in bicycles or electric scooters by allocating a specific parking space for those. Also, the employees will have at their disposal a fully equipped gym that includes fitness classes.
