SimCorp

Many SimCorp employees spend most of their days at client sites. Time spent in the office is a precious opportunity to connect and collaborate in-person with coworkers. In their New York location, open spaces encourage team connections and facilitate large meetings. Conference rooms and huddle spaces are available for focus work as well as confidential conversations. Employees head to the café for refreshment and impromptu conversations, while respite areas offer space for rejuvenation. Technology keeps everyone connected no matter where they work—at the office, on location, or from home.

Features throughout SimCorp’s New York office reflect the company’s commitment to physical and mental well-being. Workstations promote good back support and alignment with ergonomic chairs. Height-adjustable desks encourage people to change postures throughout the day, and dual monitors reduce eyestrain. Expansive windows and interior glass walls allow natural light to fill the entire office, giving workers a mood-boosting connection to the outdoors as well as views of the city. A touchless system for water was also added to help workers stay refreshed and hydrated throughout the day.

While SimCorp has long operated with a work-from-anywhere mindset—using a hybrid model of working from the office, home, and third places (often client sites)—the COVID-19 pandemic presented an opportunity to help all employees make their home workspaces as comfortable and productive as possible. The company established a purchase program allowing workers to select height-adjustable desks and ergonomic chairs from Haworth for their home setups. Employees found that the products increased their comfort and productivity and made it easier for them to focus.
