The third building in Hilti's big headquarters modernisation project has now been completed.
200 employees moved into the new Middle Office Building at Corporate HQ in Schaan, Liechtenstein, at the start of 2020.
As you might expect, the new building is high spec. Using the open space principle, there are generous open areas and what the firm said are "modest visual boundaries" which encourage communication and quiet space for focused work and concentration.
Employees will work to the "flex desk" principle, so they can select their individual work station according to requirements and needs. There's also a newly designed park space outside the building too, for rest and reflection. Here's a video Hilti prepared earlier:

Next up in the modernisation project at Hilti Liechtenstein HQ is the North Office Building, which is scheduled for completion at the end of the year. When complete, the old North Office complex, sitting next to the company's parking garage, will be knocked down to make room for the final phase - creating a large park area with substantial green space as well as common areas both open to the elements and sheltered.

It's not just the Hilti Liechtenstein HQ that has been renovated - the fixings firm unveiled a brand new Academy building at its Kaufering, Germany base in 2017.
“It’s important for us to promote the creativity and inventiveness of our employees with a correspondingly modern working environment,” said Hilti Group Executive Board Member Jahangir Doongaji. “A flexible working environment provides employees the opportunity to develop. We place a great deal of stock in the many diverse possibilities for cooperation as every innovation represents a team effort. A more modern corporate headquarters also allows us to better position Hilti on the international jobs market and to enthuse talent from around the world to come and work in Liechtenstein.”
