Have you seen the plans for Ford's new product campus in Dearborn? They have us contemplating sending in a resume and moving to Michigan.
The digital mock-ups (shown in the tweet above) illustrate sleek futuristic buildings arranged around lush green spaces that remind us of a university quad. That's not all this campus has to offer, either. According to Ford, new employee services will be available on-site, including fully-staffed cafes, fitness classes, and more.
Ford will even be using its employees as guinea pigs for some of the company's latest mobility ideas, like an on-demand shuttle and car-sharing services.
The choice to take good care of Ford employees is not purely altruistic. It is an investment that President and CEO Mark Fields is hoping will see high returns. "Bringing our teams together in an open, collaborative environment will make our employees' lives better, speed decision-making, and deliver results for both our core and emerging businesses."
In other words, happy employees are more creative innovators, and giving them the right tools for the job -- like improved office spaces and 10-times faster Wi-Fi -- makes them more productive.
Construction begins this month, and is scheduled to wrap up by 2023.
