The future of office space set up for agile work at DHL Consulting

A paradigm shift at work: a CEO without their own office, peaceful quiet zones, dedicated spaces for collaborating and a kitchen stocked with healthy goodies and good coffee... Welcome to New Work!

Physical changes to an office space can radically improve well-being, boost productivity and promote cooperation. What’s more, teaming those changes with new, agile ways of working – remote work and home office, for example – gives employees the necessary freedom to thrive.

DHL Consulting launched its colorful new premises in Bonn, Germany, in 2019. Just ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic, as it turned out, which brought massive changes to the world of work globally.

The physical transformation was driven by a shift in mindset. With trust and collaboration defined as the main goals, agile working was introduced and the workspace was redesigned to enable maximum flexibility and foster well-being.

The office features 182 flexible seating options across different zones: from silent work and meeting rooms to open spaces for collaboration, and booking enabled via a smart digital solution.
