Workplace design guiding principles

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.

Planning zones and space types

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. 

You can learn more about the Managed Service Office (MSO) program on The Source (authentication required).
