DALLAS, Feb. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BBVA Compass
announced today that it is bringing its Silicon Valley-inspired
open workspaces and technologies to its Dallas corporate offices to help fuel
innovation and collaboration.
The planned renovations to the Cornerstone and Douglas corporate
offices, to begin in February, are part of the bank's ongoing
efforts to cultivate a unified and cohesive team. The workspaces
will be modeled after those at BBVA Compass Plaza in Houston, and
the bank's Talent & Culture and Brock Development Center
offices in Birmingham, Ala.
"Open workspaces fuel collaboration and unity," said BBVA
Compass Chief Operating Officer Rafael
Bustillo. "We're removing the barriers that keep people from
interacting on a regular basis, bringing them together to maximize
energy and communication."
BBVA Compass' Dallas corporate
offices boast more than 600 employees from the bank's Consumer
& Commercial Banking and Risk areas, among others. The bank
will move out of its Promenade and Preston
Campbell corporate offices following the remodeling, and
teams currently working in those buildings will transition to
either Cornerstone or Douglas.
The offices will feature Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies,
shared public spaces, collaboration areas and private meeting rooms
― investments made in pursuit of creativity and innovation, said
BBVA Compass Chief Talent & Culture Executive Rosilyn Houston.
"Our aspirations to deliver a world-class client experience and
become a leading digital bank require a free flow of ideas and
interaction," Houston said. "These lofty objectives are best
achieved by breaking down walls ― literally and figuratively."
Houston said BBVA Compass teammates will be able to retreat to
quiet areas — a conference room, or smaller huddle room — when
needed.
"We want to increase productivity and personal inspiration,"
Houston said. "Mostly that involves teams working together but
sometimes it requires time alone with our thoughts."
Dallas team members are
expected to move into their new spaces over the course of the first
and second quarters.
