Get Employees Working in New Ways - Building 10

This is a virtual company visit of Cisco's refurbished headquarters Building 10.

The technologies implemented into Cisco Building 10 were created specifically to encourage employee interaction, thus sparking the seeds of innovation not previously imaginable.

• Our people can work anywhere, on any device at any time. We find that our employees are much more mobile within the new work environment, working in a variety of different spaces throughout the day.
• Smart Spaces is a tool that allows an employee to identify, reserve and locate a workspace setting that is most appropriate for the work activities they are looking to perform.  Once the workspace is selected, the solution automatically configures the space to the individual preferences of the employee.
• Our Connected Workplace deploys a wide variety of space types to support the different work needs employees display through any given day. Open, collaborative space, quiet rooms, creativity zones, outdoor meeting areas, eCafes, residential soft seating areas are all provided and equipped with high speed wireless connectivity and video everywhere. 
• Building 10 has been outfitted with video capabilities in order to reach employees around the globe. Each meeting room is armed with the audio and video needs of each employee to connect in meetings via telepresence.
