Why did you move to the new premises?
"We had been in the original offices for more than 20 years and they no longer met our requirements and modern trends. So we started looking for new premises that meet our current needs."

What technology do you have in your meeting rooms?
"Nowadays, thanks to high-tech equipment, I can connect with anyone around the world, as well as with my colleagues or customers."

How did you work before, during and after the covid?
"The difference wasn't that significant because even before covid we often connected using different technologies and video calls. Of course, during covid it expanded tremendously and we were looking for the best ways to communicate effectively."

How do you see the future of work?
"The future is in hybrid working, smart working. When we can actually work from anywhere, not just from home. At the same time, offices remain and play a very important role. It is our base where we meet with colleagues, collaborate, brainstorm. But thanks to smart working, I can choose how and where I work and I can be flexible."

What workspaces do you currently use?
"We have meeting rooms that are used for scheduled meetings. They are different sizes and have different equipment. So I can choose which one suits me best. Then we have focus rooms, which are smaller spaces, for up to 3 people. These are for spontaneous meetings or when I need to shut myself away and focus on something. If I need to make a call and don't want to disturb others, I can close myself in the phone booth. Collaborative areas are available for creative collaboration or team brainstorming. They're not closed off, and that encourages creative ideas."
