How does Nantes use ‘scenario thinking’ to build workplace happiness?

Behind hardcore manufacturing, the workplace atmosphere in Nantes is quietly hidden within a set of brand new spatial coordinates. We firmly believe that an excellent company not only cares about how far its employees go, but also about how well they live here.

As early as last year, we comprehensively upgraded the wellbeing and leisure spaces for our staff. The reason we continue to invest in these spaces is simple:The real needs of employees at different times and in different states should be responded to by the space.

An energy field suitable for both activity and stillness: responding to individual state transitions.

1. Beyond efficient work, professionals need an ‘adjustment valve’ to switch states at any time. Nant connects high energy with tranquility through scenarios, giving every emotion a place to go.

2. Gym and employee activity spaces: Support daily physical exercise for staff and serve as lively bases for department gatherings, meals, and parties.

3. Billiards, high bar tables, coffee machines: A cup of fresh coffee, a game of billiards, a few minutes of micro-breaks help everyone quickly regain a good state during work intervals.

4. Book bar and leisure area: Designed for quiet and solitude. There is no urgent pace here, perfectly meeting employees’ needs for calm thinking and immersive reading.

“The ‘Boundless Co-Creation’ Ecosystem: Letting Inspiration Happen in Nature”

1. Breaking the confines of cubicles, Nantes blurs the boundaries between work and life to make communication more natural and co-creation easier. 2. Public activity areas, brainstorming zones, and rooftop gardens: mainly serve the weekly exchanges of each team, cross-departmental co-creation, and company holiday events, allowing good ideas to emerge in a relaxed atmosphere. 3. Outdoor rooftop gardens and lawn activity areas: open to all employees all day. Standing on the lawn and looking up at the blue sky, this is Nantes’ employees’ ‘micro-vacation’ workplace.

Experience points of “cultural retention”: Bringing the warmth of the company home, the space is not only a functional carrier but also an extension of the brand culture. In Nant, the essence of “scenario thinking” is caring for people. Employees’ happiness is never an empty slogan. When they want to sweat, there is a track; when they want solitude, there is the fragrance of books; when they seek inspiration, there is scenery. We respect the genuine emotions of every employee and cherish every breath between work and rest.
