According to a spokesperson from GM, the new office’s overall design concept is deemed young and boasts of state of the art technology. The building is Greenmark Gold certified and GM International is currently applying for Greenmark Gold rating for its interior as it aims to be energy- and water-efficient, minimise waste, and emphasize indoor environment quality.

The cross-functional teams from GM including Real Estate, Human Resources, Facilities, Security, GMI’s President Office, Design, Marketing and Branding groups were involved in coming up with the new office design ideas. The spokesperson said that the team from Real Estate department appointed a global vendor to manage the construction process to ensure quality and timely completion. Subsequently, it was passed on to the on-site integrated facilities management vendor to manage the running of the office.

GM claims to have adopted an open office concept for their main areas. They also have the rule of “hot desks” rule to encourage a clean desk policy, flexibility, collaboration and staff interaction amongst functions. The new office also features plenty of collaboration areas with lounge and seats available. The Townhall area is intentionally created to be an open space for staff recreation and informal meetings.
