Project: Sweden HQ Health & Wellbeing

Putting wellbeing at the heart of DHL’s Sweden HQ

For many employees, having a comfortable and functional workspace is an important factor in their job satisfaction and overall success. When you get your working environment right, it can improve employee motivation, increase productivity, and build a greater sense of employee wellbeing.

As part of its commitment to supporting the mental and physical wellbeing of its team, DHL Express wanted to refresh its Stockholm HQ in a way that would encourage employees to live a well-balanced life which is healthy, fulfilling and rewarding.

Workplace branding: integrating wellbeing and culture

Bringing our creative and employer branding insight to the project, we transformed the office into an inviting space that puts wellbeing at the centre of the design.

Combining strategy, design, and an understanding of the company culture, we delivered designs for 25 different spaces, that considered wellbeing messaging, wall designs, foliage, artwork and furnishings. ​

Permeated through the creative is an appreciation of the local culture, via room themes and artwork. Motivational messaging is displayed throughout the building in appropriate locations, and is meaningful, respectful, and significant, relating to DHL’s brand heritage or to health and wellbeing.

The design supports physical and mental wellbeing by filling the spaces with natural light and greenery. The creative approach considered the comfort, health, wellbeing, iconic use of the DHL brand, sustainability, and the need for flexibility.

"You have proven to us time and again that we made the right choice going with Something Big. You have another big fan in me!"
