in Switzerland, Orange moves into new headquarters, promotes telecommuting and introduces new mobility concept
Orange has moved into its new head office in Renens in the canton of Vaud with
over 550 employees from Lausanne and Bussigny. By moving to its new headquarters
in Renens, Orange is simultaneously forging new paths when it comes to workplace
design and corporate mobility.
This contemporary office building is easy to reach. Besides, is placed into a very well equiped area and make for a pleasant environment for Orange employees even outside of working hours.
Renens strengthens its appeal
Renens is a dynamic town in the heart of the Lausanne agglomeration. Situated in close proximity to the major public transport arteries, Renens is the main township of the district, which also includes the EPFL and the University of Lausanne. Renens has over 19,000 inhabitants and over 700 businesses with over 7,000 jobs in its municipal area.
laptop and trolley as mobile office
Fixed workstations in the new building no longer exist for the majority of Orange employees. As a result of the flexible workplace model and open-plan office employees simply take their mobile office – consisting of a mini suitcase on wheels or backpack and a laptop – and settle down at a docking station that happens to be free. At the end of the day employees take their mobile and paperless office home with them, as the next day’s agenda may call for a customer visit or off-site meeting or they may simply be telecommuting from home or working at another Orange branch office.
Considering that Orange strategic focus has always been on people’s mobility, it is therefore natural that it wants to offer its employees the highest possible degree of mobility and flexibility.
sustainable mobility concept
Telecommuting from home and the mobile office are only one component of the Orange mobility concept, which is strongly focused on sustainable business development. Traveling with public or alternative transportation is also purposefully promoted.
Incentives are created for employees in order to show them the alternatives to traveling by car. These alternatives often enable more efficient and productive travel.
For the environment as well as for the company, 'together we can do more'.
