Goodbye Uptown. Hello NoDa!
Anyone who knows the Croixstone team knows that we’re changemakers at heart. And this week we’re thrilled to announce a big change as we relocated in June 2020 to a larger office in Charlotte’s NoDa district.
The historic events of 2020 will catalyze seismic changes in both American society and business. We can’t think of a better place to foster the creativity needed to drive these changes than Charlotte’s beloved arts district.
As long-term community members and supporters of Industrious Charlotte, we’re pioneering as Industrious NoDa has opened the district’s first Class A office space in a converted warehouse (originally part of the historic Newco Fibre Mill complex near North Davidson and 36th Streets).
While COVID-19 still has us social distancing and largely working from home, the Croixstone team invites you to virtually tour our new home here.
Employee Engagement & Work Environment
Does workspace design drive employee engagement?
In partnership with global market research firm Ipsos, office furniture and workspace industry leader Steelcase has published a new report entitled “Engagement and the Global Workplace” that explores the relationship between employee engagement and the work environment. Conducted with more than 12,000 office workers in 17 countries, the study uncovered a correlation between employees’ attitudes about their workplace and their level of engagement.
Because most experts believe that the number of disengaged workers outnumbers those of engaged workers, the findings of this report are helpful to understand to improve bottom line results.
Key findings from the comprehensive survey include:
- Employee Engagement Positively Correlates with Workplace Satisfaction
- Engaged Employees Have More Control Over Their Experiences at Work
- Fixed Technology Exceeds Mobile 2:1
- Traditional Workstyles Persist
- Cultural Context Influences Engagement Levels
