"The aim is to ensure people feel comfortable in their workspace and are inspired by their surroundings"
Keeping the creative element of marketing and events in-house means the workplace remains exciting at online delivery service Hungryhouse, says Beth James, marketing communications manager. "We are quite big now, but we've always retained our 'start-up' roots - we get to see our projects through from initial idea to completion."
This philosophy has led to a recent implementation of programmes designed to cultivate motivation and job satisfaction. "It's important that our employees' needs are met, and that they feel they have a purpose at Hungryhouse, as well as room to grow and develop," James adds.
The brand's marketing and events department operates out of parent company Delivery Hero's home town of Berlin, which, James says, provides a vibrant backdrop. "We benefit hugely from sharing our offices with talented people from our 23 markets, and there is a great start-up scene in the city," she says. The company also sponsors free language lessons for every employee.
The creative culture of Berlin is also brought inside the office at Hungryhouse, as James explains: "Each department has been able to stamp their personality on their area, so, for example, the marketing section has an 'English lawn garden' theme, complete with a miniature croquet set. The aim is to ensure people feel comfortable in their workspace and are inspired by their surroundings. There is also a lounge area, ping-pong table, a Playstation console and table football because it is important that people are able to step away from their desk to wind down if they need to."
