Creating workspaces people love
Connecting Direct Line Group‘s colleagues to their strategy through innovative workspace branding
The Challenge
When DLG moved to their Bristol office, they needed to put their own stamp on the new space – and bring the company’s strategy to life in a visually stunning way for employees, every single day.
They asked us to help connect their colleagues with DLG’s brand, vision, values and strategy.
The Solution
Working hand in hand with the Internal Communications team, we created a strategic journey through DLG’s range of
spaces – encouraging ideas’ generation, collaboration,
reflection and socialising.
The Result
Together, we’ve created something truly special that captures DLG’s culture and values.
Colleagues have been inspired by the new space – sharing their thoughts on Yammer daily since the big move. Indeed, Bristol colleagues are also more engaged with the wider business. For example, nominations for the annual Chief Executive Awards scheme are up over 15% from the previous year. Furthermore, employee engagement scores rose from 66% in 2016 to 81% in 2018 once the changes took place.
We’ve created a sustainable model, too – the designs are being made into a workplace-branding catalogue to ensure consistency and a cost-effective model when rolling out across DLG’s other sites.

What colleagues said…
Love the atmosphere and the new look. It feels like we are now a proper team.
Customer Service Advisor
Work’s no longer restricted to desks. Now, we get together in huddle areas and meeting pods. This is not an office, it’s our workspace.
