A Area The place Companies Develop
TOG is within the enterprise of fixing the way in which we work. Reimagining how we spend our working day via its design-led workplace house throughout the UK and Germany, creating environments that companies need to keep – and develop – in.
It began in 2003, when co-CEOs, Olly Olsen and Charlie Inexperienced began TOG with one constructing in Islington and one purpose; to flip the serviced workplace mannequin of brief contracts and uninspiring areas on its head. And with over 50 stunning, architect-designed buildings later, it actually has.
The business was modelled on getting individuals to enroll to areas for 9 months after which being profitable at each alternative after that… however I couldn’t get my head across the concept of copying a enterprise mannequin that was already deeply flawed – a spot individuals solely needed to be within the short-term. We needed to flip the philosophy on the pinnacle. We thought: “Let’s get somebody signed up for 9 months after which work out easy methods to make them keep.”
