Head of Real Estate EMEA American Express
Featured Client: American Express
Industry: Finance, Banking
Workstations: 65 people
Founded almost two centuries ago, in 1850, American Express needs no introduction. The multinational corporation specializing in payment card services employs nearly sixty thousand staff worldwide. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the company has provided financial solutions for businesses for years, continuously offering world-class customer services and products. Approximately a quarter of all payment transactions in the United States are made using American Express cards or cheques.
The challenge
Customer needs: Training space, rented on flexible terms, with the possibility to extend the lease period from month to month.
The company is committed to the development of its employees and emphasizes that productivity is crucial in the industry, but it can never be achieved at the expense of the team. So when American Express significantly increased its number of staff due to its Polish branch’s dynamic growth, the newly employed team needed training.
The organization turned to ShareSpace for help, entrusting us with the entire process of creating a professional training center for their new employees. The training center needed to match the high standards of the American Express office in Poland.
The ShareSpace solution
From task to solution, in less than 2 weeks
At ShareSpace, we always approach our customers through the prism of their business needs. Every company needs an office – this is an obvious truism. However, the kind of office it should be in terms of location, equipment, and all other factors is always influenced by the company’s specificity and the nature of employees’ work. The office and its qualities also significantly affect the firm’s workflow, efficiency, and overall employee satisfaction.
Right from the first meeting with our Partner, we knew we wanted to take on a creative approach when finding the best solution to match their needs. Our goal was to ensure that the American Express values of “proudly delivering the best to customers who expect the best” and “believing in being a better company when everyone feels included, valued, trusted, respected” were reflected in everything we did as we helped our Partner find a new office space. After assessing the market, we quickly provided a list of potential spaces that met all of the Client’s expectations. We provided our support at every stage of the process, from the initial search, through negotiations to delivering the final contract to be signed.
The results
Thanks to clear communication and a thorough outline of the company’s needs, we quickly offered the right solution to American Express. American Express was looking for a top-standard office space fit for their employee training. It was to be a showcase of the company, not to external partners, but to the new employees who were to feel valued working for one of the world’s largest and most respected financial companies. As a result, all new employees were trained in a comfortable environment and have now become firmly affiliated with the company.
The high standard of the office space, which met all American Express training needs, included such equipment as projectors, speaking podiums, ready-to-use modern computers for 65 people, and unlimited coffee and tea. We took care of every detail of the training space, with particular emphasis on maintaining harmony between the values of the organization and the space offered.
