Inspired by companies like
Google and
Pixar, more and more businesses
are re-thinking what a work environment feels like. Providing employees with an
inspiring office space has become a key element to a company's
success. In
Hamilton, Ontario, the high-tech consulting firm
DEENLO has taken the notion of an innovative office to new heights. They are the first company in the world to convert
90% of their office space into a swimming pool. They say the
idea behind the
aquatic work environment is to 'maximize an employee's
creativity by having them work while swimming.'
We had the opportunity to go for a dip to learn more about
this revolutionary new idea.
We want to know what you think:
would you like to see more companies adopt this approach to work? Remember there is a brand new episode of This Is That on Saturday at 11am on CBC Radio One.
