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.
