Trendy offices help attract top talent

“An office environment is the ultimate expression of culture,” and how an office looks plays a big part in attracting and retaining staff according to research by Fast Moving Consumer Goods/Consumer recruitment firm New Chapter.

They surveyed 405 professionals across the FMCG/Consumer market and found that 33% of companies had developed “trendy” offices in order to attract staff and a staggering 88% said that they felt proud to work in such an environment.

Adrian Dalby, Managing Director of New Chapter, comments: “Work and life have now blended in such a way that people seek more from work - and the notion of ‘work/life blend’ rather than a balance between the two is now a more prevalent approach in employee engagement strategy.
