Focusing on its people, Informatica engaged Stok to identify how ready the organization was to change the way in which people interacted, collaborated, and ultimately did their work—and then to shape that change programmatically. Specifically, Stok worked to:
INFAflex is Informatica’s global flex officing program, which supports its hybrid workplace and return to office (RTO) strategy. Working from this strong foundation, Stok partnered with Informatica’s Real Estate and Workplace Strategy (RE+W) team and Hybrid Workplace task force to redefine and evolve the program through a data-driven approach. Informed by badge data, interviews, employee pulse surveys, focus groups with managers and employees, and leadership’s ongoing commitment to the hybrid workplace, Stok created a strategy tailored to Informatica’s hybrid workflow and culture. The team will continue to gather data once offices are fully reopened to inform any major changes to the company’s future-forward workplace.
Integrating efforts across Informatica’s teams was essential to success. RE+W, HR, and IT report monthly to the CFO, demonstrating how vital close collaboration between the teams is, as well as the integrated nature of hybrid work strategy. RE+W and the Facilities Director have also begun discussions about environmental management and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), which will help ensure alignment with any future corporate sustainability goals or programs.
INFAflex is currently poised to be implemented during pilot office openings across Informatica’s locations worldwide. Global communications, guidelines, and policies are underway to engage all stakeholders, and Stok is helping create a guidebook to address change acclimation, workplace strategy, and sustainability at Informatica. The team plans to gather additional input from all employees to create the formalized program and real estate strategy, keeping Informatica’s people at the center of every decision.
