As a designer of a modern work environment, Ülemiste City takes responsibility for contributing to discussions on forms of work, especially as the hybrid work model that emerged during the pandemic has brought challenges alongside its benefits, such as team disconnection and negative impacts on the social and mental health of talents. What can developers do to enable companies to tailor work models that suit them best? Thank you, Pärnu Juhtimiskonverents, for inviting Ursel Velve to join the panel alongside Holger Haljand from Telia and Magnus Lužkov from Optimist Group to share the perspective of a commercial real estate developer. 🔸 It all starts with the leadership culture. When employers make whatever agreements with employees, they simultaneously take responsibility for supporting people's mental, physical, and social health. 🔸 Modern offices are more than just office spaces—they are attractive environments, a blend of areas for focused work, relaxation, and social interaction. It's worth considering stepping outside the office walls together—holding meetings outdoors or socializing at community events. 🔸 Accessibility significantly impacts people's motivation to come to the office. While commuting to work is still relatively smooth in Estonia, the shorter the commute time, the easier the transition between work and personal life. By prioritizing a culture of supportive leadership and designing dynamic and accessible workspaces, developers can play a crucial role in companies' success and talents' well-being. 📸 Raul Mee

🎭An intersection of art and innovation in Ülemiste City. Ülemiste City recently became an unexpected yet conceptually fitting venue for a theatrical production. This April, an office space was transformed into a stage hosting Tormi Torop from The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre with his diploma play, "Billion Years Before the End of the World," by the Strugatsky brothers. What makes this staging particularly intriguing is the playwright's choice of location. Torop's decision to set his narrative in Ülemiste City wasn't a coincidence. He recognised the synergy between the future city and the story revolving around a forward-thinking environment. 🚀 Setting up a small theatre was initially challenging for us and the production team, but the unexpected location was very well received and gave the guests a true out-of-the-box experience. 👏
