Optimizing Workplace Efficiency and Comfort
As the home to hundreds of Admiral employees, it is essential our workplace stays in optimal condition so we can create an efficient, safe, and functional environment for every employee. The Facilities team achieves this by carrying out routine maintenance, addressing repair requests promptly, and conducting regular inspections to catch any potential issues before they develop. This includes managing HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical work, and general building upkeep.
They also make sure standard office offerings are consistently available, including printers, mail and office supplies, and breakroom essentials. In addition, they strive to enhance the overall workplace experience by maintaining common areas, keeping essential supplies readily available (like coffee!), and overseeing cleaning and maintenance services. Their commitment to cultivating a comfortable work environment is reflected in our investment in ergonomic furniture and equipment, designed to support the health and well-being of our team members.
Vendor Management and Coordination
One of the team’s main responsibilities is managing relationships with various vendors to ensure smooth day-to-day operations and that employees have access to the resources they need. The team consistently works with vendors that provide services like printers and copiers, first-aid kits, mail delivery, and our micro-market management. When working with these vendors, the team does everything from negotiating contracts, overseeing deliveries, and troubleshooting any issues that may arise.
Providing Workplace Safety and Security
Our Facilities team is a driving force in establishing and maintaining a secure and safe environment for our employees. Their responsibilities include the development and implementation of comprehensive workplace safety protocols designed to protect our employees and assets. This involves conducting regular safety drills and managing building security systems. By proactively addressing potential risks and ensuring compliance with policies, we help protect our employees and assets.
Strategic Workspace Planning for Growth and Collaboration
As Admiral continues to grow rapidly, it’s essential our offices have the necessary space to accommodate our new hires. The Facilities team prioritizes allocating space for new hires, anticipating future growth or contraction, and managing our office leases strategically. The team works closely with departments to understand their needs and create flexible, functional intra-office “communities” that support productivity and collaboration. This includes detailed planning for desk arrangements, conference rooms, and common spaces. From coordinating office relocations to managing workspace configurations, they ensure that our physical environment adapts to the evolving needs of Admiral.
Fostering Employee Engagement and Company Culture
At Admiral, we take great pride in cultivating a vibrant and engaging culture that embraces every individual. Our facilities team is instrumental in promoting this environment, as they actively engage in the planning and execution of various employee engagement events. They also work closely with our Philanthropy and Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB) groups and provide crucial support by implementing effective in-office events.
By creating a wide range of opportunities for employees to connect and participate in activities, we contribute to a collaborative company culture. Whether it’s our annual Nacho Average Thanksgiving event, our holiday parties, or our appreciation days, these events allow employees to create stronger relationships with their fellow colleagues.
Moreover, the team gathers feedback from employees to continuously improve our engagement initiatives in order to meet the needs and interests of our diverse workforce.
