Hi, I'm Leesa Rawlings. I head up Talent Engagement across Asia Pacific for Diageo.
Come for a sneak peek today behind our cool office of Diageo in Singapore.
You can see this is not an ordinary reception.
It actually looks more like a boutique hotel reception and we have planned it that way
because we want to make sure that people that come into the space have some great experiences.
Some of the cool things in this office are how we live our purpose every day
and you can see here, we've got, 'Celebrate life everyday everywhere,'
and I think that's a great reminder for all the people coming into our office.
So our whole space here was actually designed along Diageo's global design principles
which are really about how to be inclusive, how to bring people into the workspace,
and also how to make sure that people work in a collaborative fashion.
So, in this space, we actually have hotdesking in the purest sense of the words.
We have no desktops, we have no screens, we have very little cords.
Everything is hidden to create a clean and uncluttered view
and we can move to any workspace that we want to,
depending on what the work is that we need to do.
One of the jewels in the Diageo Singapore office here
is what we call the Johnnie Walker house.
So this Johnnie Walker House is very exclusive because it's actually invite-only
and it is the only Johnnie Walker house that we have inside an office in the world.
Adam, what makes this so special?
Well, this is the home to some of the most precious and rarest whiskeys in Diageo's portfolio.
We actually joke and call this the million dollar room because when you do the maths
of all of the bottles in this space, it gets pretty close to that figure.
Let's now have a look at our living room space.
This is in the center of our office and it's one that actually a lot of our people
come to meet, to talk, and to flesh out some new ideas.
You can see from the space that it's actually very, very comfy.
There's furniture in here that's bespoke.
It's very much like a Singapore office and also the colors and the hues make you feel
nice and relaxed and want to chill out in this space.
And I noticed here that we have the Global Innovations team.
So let's see what these guys are up to.
So Paige, what's the Global Innovation team doing here today?
So we're just having a quick brainstorming session here.
We actually are sitting over in the bar today.
But we decided to come over, have a little chat and think through some concepts
we're working on and then we'll probably go grab some lunch afterwards.
This is our collaboration space and lots of our teams love to come here
and use the space to brainstorm ideas and think about some
innovative ways that they could actually transform our company.
So, we have our supply team here at the moment.
Guys, what are you working on?
So today we're working on the gifting pack of a Johnnie Walker 18 for a bricks-and-mortar.
Welcome to our Diageo bar.
This is the heart of the office and where we actually celebrate.
We have internal and external events, and it becomes a place at night where we can bring
our friends and family every Thursday and Friday night
to celebrate the wonderful products we have,
and of course, the amazing view.
So in the Diageo office, we have lots of different spaces where you can go to,
from the bar, to the living room, to the study.
But when I really have to get down and do some work, I need a quiet area where I can...
Shhhh...
Okay, I'll catch you later, bye!
