How to support creativity in employees? – give them space to relax and play

The Gdańsk IT branch of Bank Millennium was completely transformed. The idea was to create completely new work space, which will be inspiring and at the same time encouraging relaxation. Specially designed glass meeting rooms blended into open space, ensure the comfort of talks in private and at the same time are in line with the concept of openness and cooperation within a team. An atmosphere of concentration and work presides over the office, yet the new layout is also conducive to informal contacts where discussions are possible in closed rooms or in the special relaxation zone.

The renewed space is inspiring and provides many positive stimuli. After turning your gaze away from the computer screen you can see funny slogans and texts, which refer to the world of IT. Thanks to the materials used and the innovative design, the new interiors differ from classic bank office space. Here natural materials and subdued colours dominate.

― We are an innovative bank and in our activities we are more of a technology company than a financial institution. This involves building attractive, creative and modern workplaces – this is the aim Bank Millennium has for the coming years ― Maria Campos, Member of the Management Board of Bank Millennium, responsible for the IT division said. ― If you want to have creative employees you need to give them time and place to relax and to play. And we are always on the lookout for such employees, especially in IT. Bank Millennium continues to develop and to broaden its business, going beyond standard competencies. This is why we are focusing on recruiting employees with new and special skills. We hope to find them also in the Tricity environment ― Maria Campos added.

Innovation provides an advantage both in a business as well as HR context, and Bank Millennium is one of the most innovative banks in Poland.
