No STDs from door-to-door contact.
Not long ago, Virgin Media UK commissioned Household Design to reinvigorate the call-centre workspace - you know, a happy worker is a productive worker and all that guff.
Staff demographics showed employees were typically around 23 years of age, with 80% of staff full-time workers. To appeal to the much-hyped fickle nature of Gen Y, Household looked to create a design that not only resonate with staff, but inspired them to be more productive in their workspace (i.e. enjoy their work and work harder at it) and to engage more with other staff (there's nothing worse than a 23 yr old who uses only text message to "talk" to others). Household named the design "Our Neighbourhood" which played into the idea that all staff were part of a team and to get rid of the "them" mentality and make it "us" (*hug*), and, I suppose made it ok to work massive hours because work is also home for some. No guilt. Perfect.
Graffiti your lives away, staff. Just don't say anything defamatory or unkind about your employer (or carpark date)
I love the door within the elevator idea - like there's any escape!
On the other side of the ocean at Virgin Mobile USA, they have chandeliers and retro-cool wall paper. Lucky ducks.
