Proximity to Top Universities for Talent Recruitment and Innovation
Access to Emerging Talent
Located at the intersection of innovation, education and culture, The Turing Building benefits from proximity to two prestigious, award-winning universities. UCL East, voted the Sunday Times’ University of the Year 2024, and the London College of Fashion, UAL, ranked second in the world for art and design in the 2024 QS World University Rankings, are both situated at East Bank, the cultural quarter at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – a stone’s throw from The Turing Building. These higher education institutions are already welcoming students from all over the world, ensuring that local businesses have access to an influx of fresh talent, fuelling innovation and research collaborations.
Employee Morale through Talent Growth
Bringing in new talent with fresh perspectives and original ideas can energise teams, reducing the burden on current staff and, in turn, preventing occupational burnout. Being so close to world-leading academic institutions means having unparalleled access to ambitious and skilled individuals. This untapped talent pool also equates to hiring opportunities for internships and graduate roles, enhancing your organisation’s team dynamics and boosting morale.
Reducing Burnout and Turnover with a Well-Designed Workspace
Supportive Work Environment
Designed by the award-winning architecture and interior design firm AFK Studios, The Turing Building has been created to support new ways of working. AFK Studios’ vision was to design an exemplary commercial building that explores the notion of flexibility, allowing for easy subdivision and ultimate adaptability.
As a result, The Turing Building fosters a supportive work environment that mitigates stress and promotes work-life balance. The exclusive rooftop business lounge for occupiers, Lounge TwentyOne, features event space, breakout areas, wellbeing rooms and a large terrace with incredible views across Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Being able to prioritise self-care is an integral factor in preventing occupational burnout, according to Harvard Business Review. Therefore, the on-site amenities at this cutting-edge Stratford office can support your organisation’s ‘wellness in the workplace’ initiatives, which can help to reduce staff turnover.
Flexible Workspace Solutions
Businesses based in The Turing Building’s Grade A office space can offer hybrid working models, which are increasingly important to employees and attractive to prospective hires. This flexibility reduces the pressure on staff, resulting in lower burnout rates and stronger retention by giving them more freedom and independence.
At Stratford Cross, individuals can explore something new every day, enhancing staff wellbeing in and out of work. The neighbourhood’s exceptional sports, entertainment and leisure facilities provide endless ways to delve into different pursuits, whether learning, creating or relaxing.
Stratford’s Excellent Connectivity: A Key to Better Work-Life Balance
Easy Commutes
The Turing Building’s location in Stratford offers excellent connectivity, with lightning-fast connections to other parts of London. Less than a 10-minute walk from the office space, Stratford Underground and Stratford International stations provide numerous services, including the Elizabeth, Central, Jubilee and Overground Lines, the DLR and High Speed 1 route. These myriad public transport links offer employees a smoother, less stressful commute without the congestion and long travel times often associated with working in Central London.
Location’s Role in Retention
Numerous strategies can help to minimise staff turnover, one of which is encouraging a healthy work-life balance. Providing employees with easy access to facilities and amenities, such as the ones at The Turing Building and the wider Stratford Cross district, can improve morale and job satisfaction. A vibrant office location with shops and venues nearby means that people can run errands, eat out on their lunch break and make after-work plans with ease, adding convenience to their day, which can enhance their overall quality of life.
Balancing Business Connectivity and Employee Wellbeing
A Strategic Business Hub
The Turing Building is located at the intersection of education, culture and innovation, providing direct access to commercial opportunities. Stratford has already attracted major cultural institutions like the BBC Music Studios, V&A East and Sadler’s Wells, alongside organisations such as Transport for London, Financial Conduct Authority, Cancer Research and the British Council, putting the area on the map as the place for businesses to be. Companies based here can benefit from being part of the capital’s thriving business network without dealing with the challenges that come with being based in more congested areas like the City or Canary Wharf.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Employee Satisfaction
Achieving BREEAM Outstanding, WELL Gold and Nabers UK 4.0*+ certifications, The Turing Building is designed and built with sustainability in mind. At the forefront of this is enhancing the satisfaction and wellbeing of the people working here, with features like natural light, better air quality, outdoor workspace and access to a biodiverse roof terrace.
