VIDEO: Look Inside Dublin’s Dream Offices – Slack

seank

Every week, we focus on some of Dublin’s top offices and this time around we’re looking at Slack on Hatch Street, Dublin 2.

Offices around the country may be familiar with Slack, since so many of us use the platform at work every day, but not many of you will know what Slack’s offices look like.

Spoiler alert: it’s impressive.

Overlooking the Iveagh Gardens, this space has been designed to imitate its surroundings. A theme based on the streets of Dublin allows for meandering walkway “streets” to connect the different areas within the building. 

Passionate about maintaining healthy work-life balance for their employees, Slack’s motto is “work hard and go home” — which is a philosophy that seems increasingly rare these days.

Slack’s aim primarily lies in creating an environment that allows employees to “do the best work of their lives”. 

So all of the added extras, including a state-of-the-art coffee machine, break-out areas and a massage room, have been implemented with a view to making their employees more productive – as well as more content in their work.

The whole idea of the Slack platform is facilitating productivity and this is very much the approach in the office too, with the architect revealing that “the more you use the space, the more you get from it”.

It’s not all work and no play though.

The Slack team are very focused on creating an atmosphere of “belonging and inclusion”, with bi-weekly ‘family-style’ meals where the whole team gets to eat a proper feast together.

All these things combine to form a warm environment where staff feel happy and motivated to come to work Monday to Friday.

Slack’s EMEA HQ currently has open roles in Customer Experience, Sales, Operations Engineering and Business Operations.
