Yet another cool workplace - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Yet another cool workplace - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog I recently had a chance to visit PEER1 hosting in Southampton in southern England and talk to their CEO Dominic Monkhouse about their culture. PEER1 does hosting for big web sites and have around 120 employees in the UK. They have a very clear vision for creating customer happiness, and have realized that this is only possible when you have happy employees. There are many cool aspects of their culture (heres an excellent video where Dom explains it), but the most visible is how cool their office space is. First of all, its on the docks in Southampton with beautiful views over the water but theyve also gone out of their way to introduce many great-looking, fun and functional elements. Here are my photos from a seeeeeriously cool workplace. This is the lobby and the first thing you see when you enter the office. Its also where they gather all employees for company-wide meetings. The slide. I tried it. It was awesome. A game of pool in progress in the middle of the work day. Great desks. Take up a little more space than the square ones but look a lot cooler. What UK workplace is complete without its own pub. Thats Dom, the CEO, behind the bar. Looking down at the slide. This is the wall where they celebrate their mistakes. Wall art made from old server parts. One of PEER1s values engraved on a swing. Very fitting. Cool wall. Thanks for visiting my blog.
