Recruitment staffing firm, The Adecco Group, recently partnered with Unispace to design a workspace with the intention of being a “branch for the future”.
The aim of the project was to adopt an activity-based working model, which led to the idea of task-based working and the removal of desk ownership. The ABW strategy offers flexibility and allows people to move to different work settings according to the task they’re working on.
The brief from Adecco outlined an interior that would appeal to its highly-varied candidate base that harmoniously included all brands in one space without having a clash of brand colours. The space, therefore, features a neutral palette and expression of Adecco’s primary brand colour.
