Having opened just five years ago, Marina Bay Sands' primary objective at the time was to get operations up and running. However, the great responsibility of setting up a comfortable work space for a diverse pool of over 9,500 employees was equally important.

Chan Yit Foon, senior vice president of HR, Marina Bay Sands (MBS), explained: "From front-of-house staff such as housekeeping, security and hotel operations; to corporate offices like finance and HR, we had to create an environment that was comfortable, conducive and inspiring."

Given that this was an important part of MBS' employee attraction and retention strategy, what did the team do? "We created a mini-city tucked underneath our mega integrated resort complex," reveals Chan.

MBS' core workspace, called the Heart-of-House, is an extensive area with offices, kitchens, meeting rooms, lockers, uniform rooms and staff rest areas for over 9,500 team members.
