Challenge
Before the renovation, Unilever employees found the office experience to be impersonal, often struggling to find suitable workplaces to perform their daily activities. Unilever set out on a mission to significantly reduce its environmental impact through intelligent use of space and energy, while also prioritizing employees’ well-being. This meant transforming the uninspiring, old-fashioned office into a vibrant and inspiring workplace, free of fixed desks or cubicles.

The Mapiq solution
In partnership with Edge Technologies, Mapiq developed renovation plans to redesign the 32,000 m2 space. This redesign consisted of creating an array of 'neighborhoods' and areas, tailored to fit the various workstyles of Unilever's employees.
Mapiq's single platform unified workplace management, experience, and optimization. It enabled dynamic space planning providing employees with real-time insights into space availability as well as opportunities for optimization through dashboards and reports. Today, the Unilever HQ workplace benefits from:
- Ample dynamic space planning possibilities, with floor plans that can be easily adjusted based on the changing needs of teams.
- Real-time insights from the data of 4,850 occupancy sensors helping employees locate the nearest available space to focus or collaborate.
- A lower workplace cost per employee, thanks to insights from sensor data captured in easy-to-use dashboards and reports, showcasing opportunities for optimization.
