5 strategies for welcoming a new employee into the company
Starting a new job isn’t always easy: whether you are introverted or not, it’s normal to initially feel a bit overwhelmed by the whole experience of a new job.

ESG rating and the reasons why it should be considered during the design stage of a project
ESG criteria and the business world are becoming more and more connected to each other, regardless of the type of sector in which they operate. What used to be “only” a report on a company’s environmental, social and governance activities (Enviromental Social and Governance score) is now the guideline that defines the evolution of offices […]
The 2023 office, between humanisation and digitalisation

Tackling loneliness with the Remote Buddy System
Man is a social animal. He needs to feel accepted and appreciated, establish emotional relationships and engage with others. These social needs must be satisfied in both private and professional life to preserve the individual’s mental health. This isn’t the case when people work from remote.

Improving Employee Experience: a strategic choice
Let’s start with a rather obvious statement: when people are satisfied and feel valued, they work better. Productivity goes up, the company’s reputation improves and the office climate is positive.
