[Photos]: How Sanofi embedded flexibility in its new Hong Kong office

In March 2014, Sanofi Hong Kong moved from Windsor House in Causeway Bay to Cyberport to cater for an increasing number of staff.

In their new premisses, the French pharmaceutical conglomerate further integrate its wellness concepts with  flexible working arrangements, and various health initiatives to help enhance staff's well-being.

The new office enjoys 20% increase on total floor area and features a totally open office concept, high end wireless technology and abundant communal space to encourage exchange and collaboration.

“We spend more than eight hours a day in the office – more time than we spend at home. Together we are all members of the Sanofi family,” said Kelly Lam, general manager of Sanofi Hong Kong.

“An open, flexible and healthy workplace is key for nurturing a strong team of committed and engaged workforce which is the cornerstone for a successful business.”

In time with the office move, a flexible work hour policy is also put into place, allowing back-office staff to pick and choose their preferred working hours from 8.30 to 6.30pm.
