Why Team Lewis Swapped Corporate Traditionalism for the “Hotel Vibe”

The Narrative: For Team Lewis, a global communications agency, the move to Workways Brussels wasn’t just about finding desks; it was about defining a new era of employee experience. With a hybrid team split between Antwerp and Brussels, they needed a hub that felt like a destination, not just an office.

The Challenge: Balancing Focus and Flexibility

The team required a space that could seamlessly transition from a quiet daily headcount of five to a high-energy training hub for 30+ staff during AI workshops and events. They needed privacy for sensitive manager meetings without sacrificing the vibrant, open atmosphere that attracts young talent.

The Solution: A Multi-Zone Environment

Workways provided a “hotel-like” professional environment that redefined the team’s first impression of the workplace. By utilizing:

  • Phone Booths & Co-Booths: For deep focus and private client calls.

  • Casual Couches: For a relaxed “vibe” during internal management meetings.

  • A Shared Master Kitchen: To foster community during lunch breaks.

The Results: Scaling Culture, Not Just Square Footage

  • Event Readiness: The ability to host full-team trainings in Zaventem without renting external venues.

  • Talent Retention: Providing a premium, “wow-factor” space for new hires entering their first professional role.

  • Outdoor Wellbeing: Leveraging sunny Belgian days in the busy outdoor spaces to boost team morale.

CONCLUSIONS

“When I first entered this building for my interview, I thought: ‘wow, it looks like a hotel.’ That impression has stayed with me. If you want to feel that every day, you come to Workways.”
