Unilever Caribbean Ltd. (UCL) has moved its head­quar­ters to Al­bion Plaza, Vic­to­ria Av­enue, Port of Spain. The com­pa­ny was pre­vi­ous­ly based for over six­ty-three years at its icon­ic fa­cil­i­ty in Champs Fleurs. The new lo­ca­tion is part of a trans­for­ma­tive and pro­gres­sive re­struc­tur­ing in line with Unilever’s glob­al strat­e­gy.

“Unilever Caribbean Ltd. has ful­ly em­bod­ied the hy­brid work mod­el with a fu­sion of work days in of­fice and work-from-home. We’ve have had great re­sults with this flex­i­bil­i­ty, in­clud­ing in­creased em­ploy­ee pro­duc­tiv­i­ty and job sat­is­fac­tion with greater work-life bal­ance. Be­tween our phys­i­cal of­fice and our dig­i­tal work­spaces, every­one on our team is em­pow­ered to do their best work in a man­ner that most suits them,” shared Jade De Vert, Unilever’s Hu­man Re­source Coun­try Lead.

De Vert ex­plained that the new head of­fice was de­signed with em­ploy­ee flex­i­bil­i­ty and team­work in mind: “We have open work­sta­tions and shared spaces to en­cour­age team col­lab­o­ra­tion and cre­ativ­i­ty when we’re in the of­fice to­geth­er, but there are still in­di­vid­ual and unique work­spaces avail­able for use by any­one on the team. All our meet­ing rooms are ful­ly con­nect­ed with in­te­grat­ed screens to fa­cil­i­tate our wider, vir­tu­al re­gion­al meet­ings. Our out­door pa­tio is one of the most pop­u­lar meet­ing spots in the of­fice when the weath­er al­lows!”
