Employees work in an open, collaborative environment that fosters innovation. Managers and executives sit side-by-side with other members of their department to make it easier for movement and the sharing of ideas. The company has 130 meeting areas in the building, from breakout rooms, a lounge area, art gallery, three open-space gardens, and an employee center. There’s also a cashless cafeteria powered by G-Cash, an IT bar, and “ICON” LED TV screens that keep employees informed at all times of business updates, product innovations, and marketing promotions. Google drives, hangouts, and circles are integrated into staff’s workflow to make office communication and file sharing more conducive.

At Globe, the employees are more than just colleagues, but family as well. To foster this family culture, the company ensures that every family member (Ka-Globe) is heard, understood, and included in everything they do.
