When designing any workplace, our goal is to meet the 3 primary goals of Work Your Way: express Red Hat culture, support performance, and encourage engagement. These goals reflect the values of Red Hat and what our brand represents to associates, visitors, and our customers.
We believe focusing on the workplace experience and providing what the environment and individual needs will allow our associates, customers, and brand to thrive.
When designing our offices, we support a variety of workstyles through a flexible and adaptable kit of parts.
Spaces cater to different business needs and working styles, from enclaves for quiet spaces to focus and think, to larger meeting areas and huddle spaces for whiteboard sessions and team meetings.
These space types are integrated throughout our office floor plans and neighborhoods to allow associates to seamlessly pivot from one area to another.
Red Hat is always evaluating ways to make our office spaces more accessible and inclusive. Here are some examples of what we've done to date:
Acoustic considerations throughout design: from our overall adjacency plans to the design and material selection for individual spaces.
Sometimes there are limitations to what we can do, however, we commit to meet or exceed local accessibility code.
Red Hat is committed to reducing our environmental impact by incorporating sustainable features and practices into our workplaces. We strive to contribute to the global community whose collective impact improves the future.
Our floor plans are designed to prioritize access to daylight and outside views, so that all employees can benefit from an atmosphere that supports their wellbeing.
Our offices are uniquely designed to reflect Red Hat values of flexibility, inclusivity, and commitment to our associates, customers, and business. Spaces that are adaptable, accessible, and inclusive remove obstacles to creativity and allow associates and visitors to thrive.
Red Hat uses our spaces to enhance the existing connections to the local community and culture of each office location. We approach projects in each location with enough flexibility to accommodate different cultural perspectives, traditions and nuances within a flexible, global framework.
Brand standards are the source code of our identity. When we use them to create a holistically branded workplace, we reinforce and celebrate the culture, values, and ideas that define us.
We use four primary planning zones to organize and guide our layouts: Customer and partner experience, Community, Neighborhood, and Site support. These four zones work together to create a holistic office environment that prioritizes function, adjacency requirements, and captures the authentic culture of Red Hat in look and feel.
A Managed Service Office (MSO) provides a flexible workplace managed by a third party provider. Typically, they have open workspaces where members share common areas along with a variety of other meeting and work-type spaces.
