LeadWell Meetup “Leadership without bullshit” on January 30!

Several hours filled with workshops, discussions, lectures and networking. The LeadWell 2024 conference organized by O4 Coworking attracted a hundred managers and team leaders who wanted to expand their competences in the area of management and leadership. The event was aimed not only at providing practical knowledge, but also at creating a space for the exchange of experiences, mutual inspiration and the development of skills necessary for effective team management in a dynamically changing world.

 

LeadWell’s great strength was the workshops conducted by practitioners. Among the twelve proposals, there was a space to talk about building a team based on shared values, time for training in providing effective feedback, for advice on building your own brand on LinkedIn or taking care of your well-being.

 

In addition to the substantive sessions, the conference also offered a number of opportunities to establish new contacts. The final networking meeting in Olivia Garden fostered a relaxed atmosphere. Such decompression after a day full of inspiration was an ideal opportunity to exchange impressions, establish relationships and informal conversations.

 

“When I read Leadwell’s agenda, I grabbed my head. Three rooms, and in each of them not one, nor two, nor three, but four (after all, O4!) workshop sessions, plus two lectures and two discussions, networking and afterparty. It is probably impossible that it will work. And yet! Diversity, relaxed atmosphere and many, many smiling people, drawing value by the handfuls are the best proof of this.” – Natalia Florek from Personal Branding sums up the conference.

Bayer’s office in Olivia, designed by Design Anatomy, among the most interesting office projects in Poland in 2024

The Bayer Group’s office in Olivia Centre in Gdańsk has been recognized by the editors of Property Design as one of the most interesting and modern in Poland.

 

The design by Design Anatomy combines a modern approach to workspace with local heritage. Not only does it functionally support the work of teams, but it also tells the story of Oliwa – one of the most beautiful districts of Gdańsk. The colors of the office refer to the greenery of the Tri-City Landscape Park, surrounding the Olivia office center, and to the reddish red brick tiles of Oliwa tenement houses. What is more, the entire project was created in the spirit of less waste, perfectly fitting into the new strategy of friendly workplaces (Bayer Next Normal Office Concept), which Bayer is implementing globally.

 

Office in the Spirit of Less Waste

The implementation of the project in the spirit of less waste allowed not only to optimize the costs of office modernization, but also to minimize the negative impact of the entire rearrangement process on the environment. What distinguishes this type of project? Maximum focus on reducing resource waste, the use of modular structural elements, precise space planning, multifunctionality of rooms or optimal use of existing infrastructure, e.g. partition walls, ceilings, ventilation systems.

 

Flexible and Welcoming Spaces

In the Bayer office, the open space has been divided into smaller, intimate zones, which is conducive to effective communication and cooperation. Private offices have given way to flexible, public rooms that allow you to meet a variety of needs – from intense work to moments of relaxation. The following were designed, m.in:ilent rooms – for focused work in silence,elax rooms – places of regeneration, and even snooze rooms – where you can, just like that, take a nap.

 

Comfort and Functionality

Design Anatomy has introduced numerous amenities to improve the comfort of work, m.in. wall panels and openwork partitions separating individual zones or carpets with high acoustic parameters. The restaurant has become more flexible and user-friendly. Greenery was also taken care of; Numerous plants appeared in the office – in pots and even… phone booths.

Together at Christmas. Get to know me…

 

Let me tell you my story…

 

I am the Olivia Centre and Friends Christmas card. Yes, I admit, I am one of a kind. The idea of me was already born in the autumn. Not too early, not too late. Just in time for me to be created with care, tenderness, concern for those who will receive me and for those who have influenced my form…

 

As you know, Christmas is not about me, and certainly not about presents, although the children would probably disagree with me. It is about being together, thinking of others, those closest to us and those a little further away, and caring for the stray wanderer who might knock on our door on Christmas Eve. After all, we don’t leave an additional tableware for nothing…

 

And Christmas begins with the Christmas tree…

 

At Olivia, as in many homes, Christmas began with a Christmas tree. Mine was adorned with extraordinary trees, as they were decorated by the Friends of our centre. All the decorations were created thanks to the talent and work (oh yes, they were patiently and with great care cut out, painted, carved, glued, drawn and even burned) of the Charges of the: Sprawni Inaczej Foundation; Association for People with Parkinson’s Disease and Degenerative Brain Diseases and ParkOn Carers; ZeroBAN Social Cooperative.

 

When the Christmas balls, birds, angels, Santas, bows and ribbons were ready, everyone sat down at the big table in Olivia to decorate the symbolic Christmas spruce trees. Then, a talented elf transferred them into a graphics programme so that they could surround the Christmas manger… So, I can boldly say that my Christmas trees are dressed like no other. In closeness. Together. Exactly as Christmas should be…

 

I hope that when you receive me, whether in the traditional or e-version, I will be able to amaze and touch you, reminding everyone that the most beautiful Christmas is coming, that special time when we feel most strongly that, after all, being together is the most precious thing…

 

 

I remain for you as I am, carrying the good news
and wishes for a wonderful Christmas full of love and joy.

~ Your Christmas Card from Olivia and Friends

 

Together at Christmas…

On Christmas Eve in our homes, we gather with our loved ones around the Christmas tree, waiting for the first star… And at Olivia it is not any different. First, we made Christmas tree ornaments, then we decorated Olivia’s Christmas tree together. It was the centrepiece of the Christmas Charity Variety Fair and the Olivia Choir Concert with the most beautiful Christmas carols… We came together sharing joy, hope and the belief that the coming Christmas will bring only the best. Read more… 

Thus, during this Christmas time, but also every day after, let us be kind to each other, care for each other, think of each other with tenderness, careness and attentiveness. We invite you, meet our Friends and be willing to share the goodness…

Lighting in the office – how to design to increase comfort and efficiency of work

Lighting in the office space is an issue that is often assigned secondary importance, limiting its role almost exclusively to aesthetics. Meanwhile, it has a direct impact on ergonomics, atmosphere, as well as employee comfort and productivity, not to mention the impact on the aesthetics of the office space.

 

Daylight – still an absolute “must have”

Daylight is the main factor supporting the natural circadian rhythm of humans. Ensuring the right amount of it in the workplace translates into improved efficiency, reduces eye fatigue and has a positive effect on overall well-being. It is also important that a large amount of natural light in the office space significantly reduces energy consumption.

 

Workplace lighting is regulated by relevant standards and regulations Health and safety – says Anna Branicka, Leading Architect at Design Anatomy. In the light of these regulations, it is necessary to provide natural lighting for each workstation for a permanent work station of more than 4 hours. Studies show that employees with access to natural light are 15% more productive and experience less eye strain. It is also worth noting that the Daylight Factor index, which describes how well natural light reaches the interior of a building, is one of the criteria for BRREAM certification. All this means that nowadays, when designing offices, the aim is to maximize access to natural light.

 

Functionality and comfort

In most offices, the comfort of daylight cannot be ensured, so more and less commonly available solutions come to the rescue, which can also be helpful in ensuring healthy and comfortable working conditions. The choice of light colour and intensity should primarily take into account the type of tasks performed by employees and the time of their implementation.

 

The selection of optimal lighting requires a skilful combination of several types of light, such as general, task and decorative lighting – says Magdalena Kluba, Senior Team Leader, Interior Design Department at Iliard Architecture & Interior Design. It is important to provide the right amount of light at the worker’s workstation, which can prevent eye strain and improve concentration and productivity. The choice of light color is also important. Lighting that is too cold can cause a feeling of coldness and distance, while lighting that is too warm can reduce concentration. Neutral light, with a color temperature between 4000K and 5000K, is ideal, providing comfort and adequate brightness of the space.

 

Due to the diverse needs of employees, the time of day or the amount of daylight resulting from a given season of the year, the most commonly used solution in office spaces is the implementation of systems that allow for the regulation of the color and intensity of light. As Anna Branicka notes: Adjustable office lighting offers a wide range of adaptability options to meet a wide range of needs. We are eager to reach for solutions that allow us to change the color temperature, thus referring to the natural change in the color of natural light, which calms or stimulates the body. The solutions should be intuitive and easy to use, and allow users to individually adjust the lighting conditions at their workstations. Improperly selected or placed lighting can cause both physical discomfort (eye pain, tearing) and mental discomfort (drowsiness, irritability or fatigue).

 

Properly designed lighting carries an important aspect, which is shaping the atmosphere in the office space, which directly affects both the well-being of employees and the perception of the workplace itself.

 

Properly selected light can make the office be perceived as friendly, modern, dynamic, or on the contrary – calm and conducive to concentration – says Magdalena Kluba. Na przykład, oświetlenie z możliwością regulacji intensywności pozwala na dostosowanie nastroju przestrzeni do pory dnia czy charakteru spotkania. Coraz popularniejsze są również biura, które korzystają z dynamicznych systemów oświetleniowych, symulujących naturalny cykl światła dziennego – od ciepłego światła poranka po chłodniejsze odcienie popołudnia, co pozytywnie wpływa na rytm pracy i samopoczucie pracowników.

 

The latest technical solutions allow the lamps to be used for one more function: influencing the acoustics of rooms. When designing the office in Olivia Centre for Just Join IT, Design Anatomy used lamps with increased acoustic parameters, which, combined with spray acoustic plaster, ceilings with appropriate parameters, as well as panels hung over workstations, allowed for a significant reduction in the level of noise and reverberation in the rooms.

 

Design and style

When talking about lighting in office spaces, its aesthetic function cannot be overlooked. The right choice of lighting is able to create a space that, in addition to the aforementioned improvement in efficiency and well-being, is attractive to the eye and in which you simply want to be. For this purpose, architects use a number of treatments and types of lighting systems.

 

Interior designers more and more often put emphasis on the appropriate selection of lighting fixtures, which not only provide appropriate working conditions, but also complement the whole,” says Anna Branicka. Lampy, jako elementy dekoracyjne, mogą być wykonane z różnorodnych materiałów, które dodatkowo wzbogacają estetykę wnętrza. W nowoczesnych biurach często spotykamy oświetlenie wykonane z metalu, szkła, betonu czy drewna. Każdy z tych materiałów wnosi do przestrzeni inną energię – metal i szkło dodają wnętrzu industrialnego, nowoczesnego charakteru, podczas gdy drewno i tkaniny mogą ocieplić przestrzeń i nadać jej bardziej organiczny, naturalny wygląd. Warto również pamiętać, że odpowiednio dobrane oświetlenie może subtelnie nawiązywać do stylu wnętrza – od minimalistycznych, geometrycznych form, przez klasyczne, eleganckie żyrandole, aż po ekstrawaganckie, artystyczne instalacje.

 

Magdalena Kluba also draws attention to the important role of additional lighting: An important complement to the interior can be spot lighting – directional lights, such as table or floor lamps, allowing for more precise illumination of specific work areas. It adds coziness to the interior and creates a more personal atmosphere. Currently, LED technologies have also become a standard in offices, not only because of their energy efficiency, but also because of their ability to adapt to various needs. LED lamps allow you to create interesting visual effects, such as hidden light sources that optically enlarge the space, or colorful accents that introduce dynamics to the interior.

Trends in office lighting

Modern offices are increasingly focusing on an innovative approach to lighting, which is designed to both improve working conditions and emphasize the unique character of the space. Currently, three strengthening trends can be observed on the office market. As Magdalena Kluba notes: Human-Centric Lighting are lighting systems that adjust the color and intensity of light to the natural biological rhythms of humans. This type of lighting supports employee productivity, improves their well-being and affects better sleep. At the same time, in the era of increasing environmental awareness, lighting is becoming an important element of sustainable office design. Energy-saving technologies such as LED, as well as the use of natural daylight through large glazing, are becoming standard. A popular trend is also the integration of lighting with smart building systems, which automatically adjust the intensity of light depending on the amount of natural light.

Mateusz Szczeciński, architect at Design Anatomy, also draws attention to the ever-growing popularity of the DALI (Digital Additive Lighting Interface) system, which was created in cooperation with companies such as m.in. Philips, Helvar, Osram and Tridonic at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The main advantage of DALI is the central management of the lighting of the space, along with the integration with natural light to save energy. The system increases safety and convenience, but also enables the detection of the presence of people and allows for the integration of lighting with other building systems, including BMS. Thanks to the wide possibilities of individual adjustment of lighting parameters to the requirements and preferences of the user, it gives the possibility of freely arranging lighting scenes depending on the needs. This means that we can have several lighting options prepared in one room – strong light for a meeting at the top, dimmed light for presentations on a projector or atmospheric light for watching movies or relaxing in free time.

Passion development hub in Gdańsk Oliwa

Near the Olivia Centre, the Tri-City club of classic car enthusiasts ended its automotive season. 150 vehicles gathered near the largest business center in Poland, emphasizing that Olivia is a place open to everyone, but also a space for the integration of a strong community that pursues its passions in several interest clubs.

 

Classic design is not only about beautiful architecture, interior design or accessories that give them a special character. These are also vehicles whose beauty delights and adds a touch of nostalgia, because when admiring vehicles from the 50s, 60s and even 30s, it is difficult to resist the impression that such beautiful vehicles are no longer produced. Art-deco-inspired vehicle lines, chrome accessories, prioritisation given to aesthetics over production costs or aerodynamics are symbols of car design from the old era. And yes, such vehicles are definitely not seen too often on the streets today, not only because there are fewer and fewer of them, but also because their collector’s value is growing and their owners are less and less likely to take the risk of going out on crowded city streets. However, there are occasions that bring together classic car enthusiasts in one place, regardless of the risks and weather conditions.

 

The end of the season of classic vehicles is one of such reasons, especially since it was held for the first time in Oliwa – at the legendary Olivia Hall and Olivia Centre, and one of the organizers and patrons was the largest business center in Poland. The event also had its good spirit – Wojciech Daniszewski – a lover of classic vehicles, an employee of Olivia’s IT Department on a daily basis, whose commitment allowed the event to move to a new location. Olivia Centre is not only a fantastic place to work or run a business, it is also people with passion and space to pursue their interests – says Wojciech Daniszewski. As a long-time promoter of the culture of classic motoring in the Tri-City, I am extremely pleased with the fact that thanks to the newly established passion club, which is Olivia Classic, we had the pleasure to refresh the formula of one of the largest classic car rallies in the country, which is “Ending the Season Classically”.

 

The rally became an event inaugurating the activity of a new passion club in Olivia: Olivia Classic, i.e. a space connecting lovers of classic cars. This is yet another such initiative, allowing employees who work in one place to develop their interests. Olivia develops projects supporting the integration of company employees and during this time it has become not only an office center, but also a place that effectively strives to build a strong, integrated community. The club of automotive enthusiasts joined the sailing club, photography enthusiasts, filmmaking and numerous sports clubs, but also such unconventional projects as the Olivia Centre Choir, art lovers, plant care enthusiasts or a group of social activists involved in numerous aid projects for seniors, the poor and refugees.

 

As Wojciech Daniszewski emphasizes, the event crowning the season in the vicinity of the prestigious Olivia Centre business centre was a bull’s eye: Despite the capricious weather, Olivia’s car parks hosted over 150 road veterans from various automotive eras – from iconic cars of the 90s, through monuments to the People’s Republic of Poland, such as the well-known Fiat 126p or FSO Warszawa, to the Mercedes W136 produced since 1936. I am convinced that every car enthusiast has found something for themselves. In addition to beautiful cars, which we do not see in city traffic every day, the event saw numerous competitions with prizes, stands of rally partners, a food court with delicious snacks and a discussion panel with a participant of the iconic Dakar Classic rally. Seeing the enthusiasm and interest among Olivia’s residents, as well as automotive enthusiasts of the past era from all over Pomerania, we are already planning the next meetings of the Olivia Classic passion club, which we are preparing for next spring.

 

Projects involving the employees of Olivia Centre are a strategy that has been implemented for years, aimed at using and expanding the potential of the community of 15 thousand employees who work in Olivia on a daily basis. These projects have proven their value more than once both for the residents of the Tri-City, when, for example, during the pandemic, they organized help for dependent people in shopping, walking dogs or preparing Christmas gifts, but also bring exceptional value to the residents themselves.

 

Surveys conducted among managers of companies from Olivia allowed us to see a significant impact of this project on restoring stationary work and motivating their employees. As Dawid Glamowski, Director of the Resident Relations Department at Olivia Centre, emphasizes, the research has confirmed that the attendance in offices definitely increases on days when special events are held in Olivia, organized for employees, and their connection with the workplace is strongly dependent on the number of initiatives in which they participate. Projects such as ambassador clubs at Olivia Centre are a key element in building strong and lasting relationships with our residents ,” says Dawid Glamowski. Today’s market trends and corporate requirements emphasize creating a work environment that supports inclusion, passion development, and community building, which increases employee engagement. Initiatives like this allow us to not only meet these expectations, but also to stand out as a place that supports both the professional and personal needs of our residents.

Together at Christmas. And Christmas begins with the Christmas tree.

Christmas is a special time. A time that – like no other – unites us around universal values, which are love, care, kindness and the desire to do good. We try to be closer to ourselves, we open up to others, we are also more attentive to their needs.

 

Being together is especially beautiful about Christmas . December reminds us of the importance of relationships, the value of meetings and time together. Moments spent with loved ones at the Christmas Eve table, many hours of conversations, joyful caroling and gestures full of warmth strengthen bonds and make us realize what is really important. Christmas is also a time of exceptional sensitivity and attention to others. Sharing what we have builds a sense of community and solidarity. It also makes us become, quite simply, better people, getting to know each other and enriching each other.

 

This year, we try to spend the pre-Christmas time in Olivia (as every year) together. Together with you, the Residents and together with the Charities that are close to Olivia. So there will be a common Christmas fair and there will be a concert with carols, there will be a joint decorating of the Christmas tree. There will be Christmas workshops and Christmas guessing games. Our Christmas schedule is just around the corner, but you need to know now that we’ve started! Since we can’t wait for Christmas, we are already preparing a very special Christmas card. We do this together with:
