Workplace experience in action: how Teamleader focuses on a strong office experience

What does workplace experience really mean today? A trendy office with plants? Good coffee? Or something more than that?

For Nick, Office Representative at Teamleader, workplace experience is all about one thing: creating an environment where people enjoy coming to work, feel at home, and can collaborate optimally.

On this page, you can discover his vision and watch the full interview.

Watch the video here in which Nick explains how Teamleader implements workplace experience in practice and why office experience is more important than ever.

What is workplace experience according to Nick?

Workplace experience is the overall experience of employees in the workplace. It's not just about how an office looks, but how it feels.

For Nick, it means:

• An environment where people enjoy coming to the office
• A place where colleagues feel at home
• Space to work optimally and collaborate
• Actively listening to what employees need

A strong workplace experience is built together. Not by one team alone, but by continuously gathering feedback and making improvements.

Workplace experience in 2026: listening as a priority

The top priority for the workplace in 2026? Keep listening.

A modern workplace experience revolves around:

• Connection between colleagues
• Commitment
• Collaboration
• Continuous improvement based on feedback

It is not a one-time project. It is a process.

Why do people come to the office today?

In a hybrid working model, the office must offer clear added value.

According to Nick, there are two main reasons to come to the office:

1. Atmosphere and cooperation

After the coronavirus pandemic, the need for connection is greater than ever. Sharing ideas, having spontaneous discussions, and seeing each other in person greatly enhances the workplace experience.

2. Lunch as a bonding moment

At Teamleader, an in-house kitchen provides an extensive buffet every day. Lunch is more than just eating. It is a moment to get together, take a break from talking about work, and strengthen team dynamics.

Small moments. Big impact on workplace experience.

Workplace experience is not a perk

A strong workplace experience ensures:

• Higher employee satisfaction
• Greater involvement
• Better cooperation
• Stronger retention
• A stronger employer brand

Workplace experience is therefore not a nice-to-have. It is a strategic choice to invest in people.
