Mountain View’s happy HQ paves the way for Heartwork, New Cairo’s upcoming Silicon Valley

A healthy work environment means happy employees, and when that equation is met, the company’s outcome is always positive. As part of their leading by example strategy, Mountain View partnered with Delivering Happiness (DH) and integrated the science of happiness in its own headquarters and after proving a great success, they are launching Heartwork, the Silicon-Valley like business hub.

Aiming for its employees’ hearts, Heartwork, Egypt’s very first International Business Hub, uses the charms of design and architecture, by global partner CallisonRTKL to create an outstanding concept and appealing building designs that emit a joyful aura. The hub is located in Mountain View’s futuristic iCity East Cairo.

In an attempt to make this dream workplace at Mountain View come to life, DH, the culture coach-sulting company worked its magic to create a happier work environment and culture that helps businesses become more profitable, by optimizing productivity, maximizing profitability and retaining and attracting their best talent. While, real estate giant, Mountain View decided to face lift their headquarters before launching Heartwork, in order for them to immediately boost the working conditions for their employees.

Mountain View’s office changes have taken the Internet by storm, as the science, concepts and designs used in their headquarters are unorthodox to the region. This is why an immense amount of people can’t wait to see Heartwork, and work in an office developed by these successful experts and their partners, DH.

The Science Behind Pillars of Happiness

One has to find a perfect balance to be happy amidst the hectic working hours. The happiest working environment in Egypt is based on four pillars all of which Mountain View has applied and will introduce at Heartwork.

The real estate company decided to focus on feeding the employees’ soul, heart, mind and body, capitalizing on DH’s vast experience and consultancy. There will be activities and facilities at Heartwork that reflect the importance of every pillar.

The employees’ souls are fed with art and their company’s values in daily activities by ensuring they are working with a purpose, to push the company’s aims forward. Feeding humans’ hearts with meaning and connection will eventually affect their productivity and wellbeing.

It’s not just about the beautiful landscape and scenery, there’s more to ensuring employees are satisfied. The availability of private and tech free areas guarantees higher levels of concentration, as the place is tailored to optimize employees’ connection with one another. Furthermore, the nontraditional workspace and the active design office, feeds their bodies with energy and increases their eagerness to exceed their performance ceiling.

Happy Employees Sustain Productivity

High performance does not necessarily mean more profit. Many businesses struggle to acquire effective and efficient facilities and amenities, as combining the best of both worlds is hard to attain. However, Heartwork entails these aspects as well as others that are fulfilled in the project through attention to detail and world class quality.

With the intricate attention to the employees’ needs, the international business hub offers everything they need at the palm of their hands. The hub hosts the DH campus, central promenade, inspiration boulevard, mind-flow fountain, creative canvas, vehicular entrance, outdoor out-break space, an innovation square.

Heartwork’s impact will not only affect employees and their employers, but other companies too. One must lead with example, and this example with its effective strategies sets the bar high and inspires others to follow.

Mountain View’s headquarters has already witnessed higher productivity, higher retention rate and lower absence rate since they renewed their eye gazing office building.

So, the equation might not be happy employees result in profit but more like happy employees result in happy clients. This leads to more sales that businesses can capitalize on, increased retention, as well as more chances for developing sustainable culture of happiness.

Inside Heartwork

So, what does Heartwork look like? The gated International Business Hub is designed to sustain optimal levels of convenience and luxury on 38 feddans, which hosts immense green areas accompanying office buildings guaranteeing breathtaking views for each building.

Accessibility is also a main component in the project’s design, as it facilitates people’s commute between office buildings and other facilities through jogging tracks and long boulevards. In addition, DH Campus is located in the heart of the project for all occupant’s access, and it is going to host the first DH Office in the Middle East.
