Nation Media News Room
Nation Media Group (abbreviated as NMG) is a Kenyan media group founded by Aga Khan IV in 1959 and is the largest private media house in East and Central Africa with offices in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. NMG was undertaking a company-wide corporate transformation programme and, more specifically in the editorial area, a newsroom integration project. This newsroom integration was a comprehensive exercise intended to bring about a more efficient and flexible way of doing journalism within NMG, one which could respond quickly to changing audience habits and expectations. The client wished to bring its different editorial teams together onto, principally, one floor of Nation Centre and to re-design and equip this newsroom floor as a modern, best-in-class journalistic space and bring about a bright, open and modern working environment for its journalists.
Effective office interior design is a symphony of elements, where optimized lighting sets the tone for productivity and well-being. The choice between warm and cool lighting influences the ambiance, while ergonomic furniture ensures comfort for employees spending significant hours at their workstations. Interactive spaces break down traditional barriers, fostering collaboration and efficient work management. Embracing technology is not just a convenience; it's a necessity, streamlining processes and shaping the modern office into a dynamic ecosystem. Together, these components create a workspace that optimizes productivity and enhances the overall well-being of its inhabitants.
A collaborative work environment is to foster more brainstorming, innovation and connectivity among team members. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, it can improve both company culture and employee experience. Instead of shoehorning employees into an assigned seat, the office instead is broken up by activity. This way, employees who need to collaborate can head to conference rooms and other collaborative spaces. And those needing quiet work can move to private offices or even cubicles/Soundproofed pods. And finally, those needing to unwind can hit up the ping pong table in the break room. No assigned seats, but instead using the office in close proximity to the people they’re most likely to interact with. This is a workplace model that puts employees in the driver’s seat, letting them choose when, where, and how they work..
