“The award-winning new office design offers a connective, modern and safe workspace for EY people.”
Extraordinary work experience empowered by connective, modern, caring workspace
EY in Hong Kong recently moved to a new office space in Quarry Bay in May 2021. The award-winning new office design offers a connective, modern and safe workspace for EY people. Three core elements are at the heart of the design, ensuring it facilitates an extraordinary workspace.
Connected Workspace
We value teamwork and collaboration essentially. The space offers a range of communal spaces with hot desk design.
The Collaborate Zone features touchdown workspace and a sofa-and-armchair area to facilitate socialising and relaxed discussion of projects. This zone encourages colleagues to open up and elaborate more on their ideas in a relaxed environment, enhances team relationships, boosts team morale and helps ignite sparks of inspiration.
The Community Zone features open collaboration space, workstations, and meeting rooms to accommodate teamwork, gatherings and training sessions. This zone facilitates talents moving around freely to promote creative and innovative ideas.
Modern Workspace
The EY office now provides a flexible and efficient work environment with modern facilities that leverage the latest technology to help colleagues be more productive and handle challenges with greater flexibility. Individual workspace features desks with accessible hubs, 24” inch monitors and audio ports. Sensors automatically keep track of hot desk utilisation and occupancy status. Phone Booths provide a silent and disturbance-free zone for maximum concentration.
Meeting Rooms are equipped with high-resolution monitors, built-in microphones, high-tech autofocus webcams and interactive flipcharts. Employees can use the EY Mobile App to connect with the office facilities, check in/out the work desk and access work areas via a QR code. An online booking system and room booking device help arrange room allocation and meeting bookings to make our work life even more convenient.
Caring Workspace
The safe work environment allows EY talents to work and thrive, with employees’ well-being as a cornerstone. The office design includes height-adjustable tables, ergonomic chairs and window tinting technology which helps reduce glare and reflectance to provide a more comfortable work environment. In addition, air quality sensors monitor air quality and regulate ventilation to ensure good air quality. The space also features special caring rooms, including breastfeeding facilities and a multi-faith room to respect every employee’s religion and care about their needs.
