Femke Witteman and Sonja van Exel, Contract Managers Facility Management, Sanoma Media, Hoofddorp
“We have put up the whiteboard wall in the coffee corner in the central hall, where many employees and visitors meet informally, have quick meetings or work on their laptops. The Active Wall stimulates mutual creativity and humour. People write statements and brand names on the wall, for instance, to which everyone can respond. You’ll also often see small drawings. When the wall is wiped clean, it is filled again with fun, inspiring messages in no time.
At Sanoma, the office is becoming a meeting place more and more. Workplaces are shared and general spaces are used for a wide variety of purposes. It is important to us to facilitate a pleasant work environment for the employees. To do so, we are looking for practical tools that stimulate creativity. Things that contribute to efficient meetings or successful brainstorming sessions. We consider the Active Wall whiteboard wall a great solution to fulfil that need.”
