"Across KPMG's offices nationwide, employees say they prefer round tables. So with that feedback and more in mind, the Big Four consulting firm designed and opened a new, 450,000-square-foot office at Two Manhattan West in Manhattan's Hudson Yards neighborhood. The firm hopes the gleaming new headquarters will not only reassert its presence in New York City but also tempt its more than 5,000 employees in New York back to the office more often."
"Tim Walsh, who stepped into the role of KPMG's CEO and chair in July, told Business Insider that the new headquarters signifies the firm's commitment to strengthening its presence in the city. "We've always been committed to New York," Walsh told me at the firm's new office when I visited. "This is certainly a strong recommitment on behalf of KPMG in terms of how important this market is for our firm." "It's certainly brand elevating, in my opinion," he added."
KPMG opened a 450,000-square-foot office at Two Manhattan West in Hudson Yards, Manhattan, designed with employee input including a preference for round tables. The office aims to reassert KPMG's presence in New York and encourage more frequent in-person work among over 5,000 local employees. New York staff typically split time between office, client sites, and home; last month 81% of New York-based partners and employees worked in person about two days a week. CEO Tim Walsh described the office as a strong recommitment to the New York market and called it brand elevating. The space includes an 'Ignition' lab for human-centered design thinking.
