SAN DIEGO, CA – Seismic, the global leader in enablement, announced the opening of its new global headquarters in San Diego as part of its commitment to provide employees with a superior office experience on the edge of the future of work.
The office, intentionally designed by global
strategy, design and construction firm Unispace, comes on the heels of
executive growth, as Seismic recently announced the promotion of Toby Carrington,
Chief Business Officer, and the hire of Paige O’Neill as Chief Marketing
Officer.
The pandemic changed the way we work, with human-centric design becoming critical to in-person
workplaces.

In fact, businesses that implement human-centric strategies are 3.1x more likely to see low levels of fatigue among their workforce, and employees at these organizations are 3.2x more likely to stay and 3.8x more likely to exhibit high performance.
Enabling a workplace that is innovative, inclusive and designed
for flexibility demands a strategy to rethink how work gets done – which is why
Seismic created its new headquarters with intention.
“At Seismic, we strive to live and breathe a
culture of belonging rooted in our shared mission, vision, and values – and
this extends to our office spaces,” said Linda Ho, Chief People Officer,
Seismic.

“The employee experience has fundamentally shifted in the past three years. Seismic is committed to creating a workplace that evolves in tandem with the changes in order to best support our team.”
Recently named to the 2023 Fortune Best
Workplaces for MillennialsTM List and
certified as a Most Loved
Workplace® by Best Practice Institute, Seismic built its
new San Diego office with the hybrid workforce in mind.
The layout divides the space into ‘activity
zones,’ each focusing on different tasks – from focus time to video
conferencing.
Unlike more traditional office spaces that
segment by department, the Seismic office structure promotes employee
efficiency and collaboration, allowing them to easily connect and accomplish
tasks.
This includes a variety of sizes of private
rooms for individual focus work and team collaboration; large flex spaces;
innovation hub; social hub; library for focus work; game room to support team
building and relaxation; wellness lounge and recharge room for stretching,
yoga, praying, and more.
Beyond creating a space that meets employee
needs right now, Seismic will evaluate office space utilization to continuously
refine the space functionalities and best serve the needs of employees for
years to come.

“San Diego has been our headquarters for the past 13 years and we are thrilled to bring this new, future-of-work environment into the city that has given us so much,” said Doug Winter, co-founder and CEO, Seismic.
“We
are proud to employ a hybrid, global workforce – and with our anticipated
business growth, we look forward to continued expansion with local talent.
"In fact, the new workplace pays homage
to our unique location with key features like 3D-printed surfboards, meeting
rooms named after California landmarks, and biophilia elements incorporated
throughout the space.”
Seismic is launching the new office space in
partnership with Unispace, general contractor Bycor, and leading
vendors including American Assets, Elen Consulting, Cultura, Haworth,
Senator/Allermuir, Naughtone, Enwork, Poppin, BluDot, Milliken, and Interface.

“Seismic is a true visionary on the changing nature of work and the workplace,” said Alex Dupnik, Senior Associate, Design at Unispace.
“Recent Unispace research
found that more than half of workers worldwide say they struggle to do their jobs
in their current office environments.
Seismic listened to what
employees needed by creating activity zones and innovation hubs throughout the
office to drive movement, spark creativity, and enable easy cross-communication
for every member of the team.
"Additionally, their new
meeting spaces feature state-of-the-art technology to ensure an equitable
experience for all meeting attendees.”
