A lot of companies seem to have their employee environment on the mind, especially when it comes to designing a new space. CPI Security broke ground on Friday for its new 120,000 square-foot facility, to be built adjacent to its current building in Charlotte, N.C. Alongside this development, the company announced that it plans to add 300 employees, to its current total of 540, over the next couple years.
The new building will hold training facilities, R&D, and the company's central station, which is CSAA 5 Diamond certified and UL listed, CPI said in a recent release. For the company's employees, there will be a gym and a dining facility.
This news comes in at a time where others like Vivint and Monitronics are moving into new spaces—both of which incorporated a close-by body of water, interestingly enough. Vivint underlined the benefits employees get from something as simple as natural light. Monitronics talked about an open floor plan keeping groups together.
One thing I've been interested to hear about, from both Vivint and Monitronics, has been the process of the move. Monitronics appointed “move captains” and Vivint did it in the space of one shift.
I'm curious to hear more about how CPI will physically move into its new space, and hope to follow-up with the company soon.
