Photobook Worldwide is best known for specialising in preserving meaningful memories through customised, premium printed photo albums.
“We started our business with printing softcover and hardcover digital books and we have slowly expanded our products into a wide variety of photo merchandise,” said Joachim Ooi Khee Jin, talent acquisition manager at Photobook.
Customisable canvas prints, coffee table books, greeting cards, calendars, phone cases and clocks are just some of photo products the e-commerce business now offers.
Hence, upon entering Photobook’s headquarters office in Bangsar South, Malaysia, staff and visitors alike are greeted with the product display area, proudly showcasing the company’s product range on walls, shelves and tables. Arranged in a museum-like manner, the display visually tell the story of Photobook’s journey.
Not only does the company celebrate personalisation through its photo product-customisation services, it emphasises employee individuality in its office design. Personal lockers with themes such as favourite food/beverage/dessert, best moments and motivational quotes are placed in different sides of the office.
“Having a cosy and home-y office ambience makes employees feel at ease when they're at work," Ooi explained.
He shared: “Both the HR and Finance team picked 'favourite food/beverage/dessert' as our preferred theme and each member was assigned to a dedicated locker, on which we displayed pictures of our favourite food.”
One of the top reasons why new hires join the organisation is their attractive workplace, the talent acquisition manager said.
Asked if he had any advice for other companies planning to redecorate or design a new office, he concluded: “It comes down to the core values of the company and the type of direction it wants to head towards. Company values should come first, and then the office’s design and decoration can follow in line with this.”
