Quay House in Peterborough opened in 2023
The 바카라 사이트 Property Agency (GPA) has gained a prestigious world-leading award for its office hub building in Peterborough.
It is the second time the agency has achieved Leesman+ certification 바카라 사이트“ global recognition of exceptional workplace experiences which only six public sector offices worldwide have ever attained.
Quay House, in Peterborough, was opened in March 2023 as the GPA바카라 사이트™s first new-build hub within the 바카라 사이트 Hubs Programme. It brought together 1,200 civil servants from several government bodies to work in one shared building as part of a £120m regeneration of Fletton Quays.
The building was aligned to the 바카라 사이트 Workplace Design Guide across its seven floors, providing flexible, digitally-connected workspaces to support greater productivity, create cost efficiencies and enhance carbon reduction.
The survey results for Quay House showed that 70.1% of respondents agreed 바카라 사이트˜It바카라 사이트™s a place I바카라 사이트™m proud to bring visitors to바카라 사이트™, whilst two thirds agreed the building provides an enjoyable environment to work in and enables them to work productively.
Georgina Dunn, Interim Director of Capital Projects, said:
By transforming brownfield sites into industry leading workplaces, our 바카라 사이트 Hubs are at the heart of enabling the government바카라 사이트™s Places for Growth programme.
For our hubs in Peterborough and Birmingham to be given Leesman+ recognition shows that we are at the forefront of modernising the Civil Service whilst supporting economic growth across the UK, not just in capital cities.
The GPA first achieved Leesman+ certification for its Birmingham hub at 23 Stephenson Street in 2023, which was recognised as the best amongst Leesman+ buildings.
Leesman has surveyed more than 1.35m employees across 9,300 workplaces to establish the world바카라 사이트™s largest workplace experience database and benchmark standards across the private and public sectors. Only 269 workplaces have ever achieved its coveted Leesman+ certification.
Louis Roberts, Interim Director of Workplace Services, said:
We recognise the importance of agile and flexible workplace communities that accommodate the diverse needs of civil servants. As these needs continue to evolve, strong insights enable us to adapt our design and delivery models to ensure we are providing workplaces that our customers need, where they feel empowered to work productively.
As well as benchmarking government workplaces against some of the leading offices worldwide, Leesman+ also provides rich insights on behaviours and priorities of building users which informs workplace design and service delivery across the GPA바카라 사이트™s portfolio.
Dr Peggie Rothe, Chief Insights and research Officer at Leesman, said:
The addition of the UK 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트™s Quay House hub as a Certified Leesman+ workplace presents another powerful illustration that placing employees바카라 사이트™ lived workplace experience at the centre of all design and build decisions delivers both outstanding places to work, and great returns on investment.
The GPA바카라 사이트™s approach of capturing and analysing a far more granular set of end user factors than nearly any other organisation in Leesman바카라 사이트™s fully independent data set, really does enable them to develop more inclusive and supportive workspaces for their Civil Service colleagues.
