Terry Tran is Associate Director of Work Environment Integration and Sara Andersen is Director of Real Estate Management at Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies. Mike Petrusky recently visited Genentech’s corporate campus in South San Francisco to talk about workplace strategy and how Terry and Sara collaborate to create a “cohesive and connected workplace” across the campus and the community. Their unique approach is built around “Neighborhood Work Environments” and is designed with physical, technological and social spaces that enable business units to achieve specific outcomes. Terry and Sara believe that providing flexibility and choice while giving individuals control of their work / life integration are all essential as they seek to impact the employee experience and “liberate the workforce” at Genentech. Mike asks both Terry and Sara about their favorite kinds of music which, of course, leads to another fun episode of “podcast karaoke”!
