The pilot project at Sydney’s 400 George Street showcased the power of design and technology working in harmony. Multiple floors of a commercial building were transformed into open, modern spaces, each featuring designated zones for specific activities. Uplifting’s 7Flex monitor arms were installed on every desk, paired with laptop trays for added versatility. These ergonomic solutions allowed employees to:
- Securely mount various devices.
- Adjust their setups effortlessly.
- Work comfortably from any spot on the floor.
The result? Employees could configure their workspaces on the fly to suit their needs, enhancing collaboration and maximising output. By using a single model of monitor arm across nine different desk layouts, Telstra achieved ergonomic consistency while simplifying the overall setup.
A new standard
The Sydney fit-out was just the beginning. With its success, Telstra rolled out the FWoW initiative across major cities, including Melbourne, Brisbane, and Parramatta. Today, thousands of employees benefit from adaptable workspaces that combine comfort, collaboration, and cutting-edge design.
Telstra’s reimagined workplace is more than just a case study in effective office design—it’s a blueprint for the future of work. By putting their people and technology at the heart of their strategy, Telstra has set a new benchmark for what modern workspaces can achieve.
This is a story of vision, innovation, and partnership, with Uplifting Solutions playing a pivotal role in turning an ambitious idea into a reality. Telstra’s FWoW initiative demonstrates how the right tools and thoughtful design can create a workplace that truly supports the way we work today—and tomorrow.
