A Workspace Designed for Healthy Growth

Foreseeing growing demands for its services in the health care industry, ConnectedHealth had a vision for a new headquarters office to accommodate future growth. The organization’s leaders reached out to Rightsize Facilities Performance team of professionals to plan and create a space that was functional, yet flexible enough to meet future growth needs.

Understanding ConnectedHealth’s vision, the Rightsize team designed space to meet four primary workplace objectives. A Blended Solution of new and pre-owned furnishings created a uniquely innovative and inspirational office environment.

For a workspace that supported focused thinking, Maxon workstations were selected to instill privacy and individual workload. Frequent team collaboration called for casual Hubs designed for meetings and a variety of gatherings, while private training rooms with access to technology were designed in support of ongoing learning. And to facilitate socialization and staff camaraderie, an informal break room and soft seating areas were created.

Further, non-fixed furnishings were strategically placed to make future growth space transitions both simple and easy. ConnectedHealth’s new workspace environment is poised and ready for healthy growth in the years to come.
