Zendesk's brand is reflected in its space through qualities like airiness, humility, and charm. These guiding principles were used to create a space that feels light and open, yet varied and textured.

The design team included secluded nooks and darkened spaces to contrast with the open office, emphasizing the airiness of the space. Organic materials were chosen to complement the historic building's finishes and highlight Zendesk's humble qualities.

Charm is evident throughout the space, from the ground floor reception area to pops of green inserted into the calm palette. The design team took a reductionist approach, looking to reduce rather than add, resulting in an uncomplicated yet thoughtful space.

The Danish concept of "hygge", or coziness, was another key design influence. The team created inviting spaces with lowered ceilings and muted lighting, finished with soft wall coverings and natural materials.

Custom-designed booths provide cozy refuges for meetings and focused work, while wood canopies extend from the kitchens to create additional nooks and shelters. The office blurs the line between home, hospitality, and workplace, merging all the comforts and qualities of each.

Zendesk's lack of pretension is reflected in its design, with a focus on simplicity and minimalism. The company's culture is less formal, striving for beauty and simplicity in its products and processes.

Streamlining employee requests was a challenge for the People & Places Zendesk accounts, as they relied on siloed systems that made it difficult to track and manage requests.

Sanoy, the admin for the accounts, found a solution by consolidating their workload into one centralized inbox using Zendesk.

This centralized inbox allows them to funnel employee requests from Workday into a single email address, where they can manage tickets effectively in one place.

Using Zendesk, they're able to create more efficient workflows internally and provide more transparency for leaders.

The solution also ensures that task history and any related conversations in Workday are stored in the Zendesk ticket for reference, making report generation a breeze.

Zendesk has introduced a feature called APPROVALS, which is now built right into the Agent Workspace.

This feature eliminates the need for agents to navigate between tools or lose requests in the process of getting approvals.

Approval requests can now be created, managed, and tracked within the ticket sidebar, reducing chaos and lost emails.

For approvers, they can approve requests either within Zendesk or with a secure email link.

Every approval decision is logged automatically, ensuring compliance is a priority.

This feature is available to teams on ES Suite Growth+, CX Suite Professional+, or Enterprise+ plans.

Zendesk's goal is to be the 'Champions of customer service' for their employees internally.

This means investing in the right solutions today to enable their People Services team to reach their goals tomorrow and beyond.
