Viacom, Bazaarvoice and Smarkets have been added to the Workplace Week London 2018 line-up which commences on 12th November 2018. Now in its seventh year, the philanthropic event - brainchild of Advanced Workplace Associates - will see 20 organisations, including 10 debutants, open their doors to raise money for BBC’s Children in Need. Over £100,000 has already been raised for the charity.
Marking an exciting first for Workplace Week London 2018, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) will open its doors, presenting an exclusive opportunity to have a sneak peek behind-the-scenes of the media brand powerhouse, home to Channel 5, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET and more.
The London HQ boasts a green living wall, photovoltaic panels, sedum roof, studios, production rooms, recording and editing suites, as well as modern, open-plan workstations and breakout areas, two atriums and a large, open flexible space for dining, full company meetings and gigs.
Another debutant to the 2018 lineup is the highly celebrated international HQ of Bazaarvoice, the consumer insight agency. Ranked as one of the UK’s top 10 coolest offices in 2017 by Glassdoor, the agency will show off its space. Located in Hammersmith, the current space, complete with retro furniture, chandeliers, deck chairs and meeting rooms modelled on a monopoly board – colour coded with Victorian terrace doors – champions a level of eccentricity and Britishness needed to complement its otherwise unmistakable professionalism and global reach.
Also making its Workplace Week debut is the ultra-modern headquarters of betting exchange, Smarkets. With the help of the commercial interior fit out agency, ThirdWay, to design a bespoke workspace that mirrors the firm’s progressive cultural ethos of self-management, the 10,000 sq ft penthouse on the top floor of Commodity Quay, is committed to offering ‘a new kind of workplace’, where trust, freedom and fun are the driving forces.
Andrew Mawson, Founder of AWA and Creator of Workplace Week London said: “Workplace Week was created in 2011 to showcase how business leaders and their facilities, people services and workplace teams can champion change in order to improve engagement, productivity, wellbeing and business performance.
"Over the years, the week has shined a light on the organisations that are putting much more thought into how they create an excellent workplace experience and use workplace change as a tool for business transformation by embracing new, modern approaches to work to help people be at their best.”
