The say, look after your staff well, and they’ll look after you. Well, if there’s truth to the saying, then Google’s going to be extremely well looked after indeed.
This massive dotcom enterprise sprawls over acres at fthe Googleplex with an army of staffers to keep busy, entertained, happy and well fed. The results speak for themselves but take a look at some of the details. An on-site organic garden, hundreds of community bikes, beach volleyball, snooker, 19 canteens, 60 “micro-kitchens”, planning for space and light, environmentally certified furniture, wood only harvested from sustainable resources, recycling.
The list goes on and on. According to the US Department of Labour people in the US spend at least 1 896 hours per year at work. If you’re going to spend so much time at “graft”, it may as well be time well spent.

Bring on the endless pool – that would put screenbreaks in a whole other league! I love the smoothie bar too. Very clever management and design.
