Yello has been the new workplace concept for ABN AMRO’s head offices since 2016. Yello is a combination of physical furnishing elements, IT resources and modern services that redefine the working environment and the way we work. The concept encourages collaboration between different organisational units, while at the same time offering room for the goals and identity of a department and freedom of choice for individual employees. Yello also supports themes such as vitality, sustainability and wellbeing and, in particular, working in different compositions, such as multidisciplinary project teams or scrum teams.

ABN AMRO employees highly appreciate the Yello working concept. After five years, there are a number of reasons for taking the concept to the next level, Yello 2.0. The bank is changing at a rapid pace, evaluations have revealed opportunities for improvement, sustainability can no longer be ignored, updates to technical building systems provide a natural moment, and the current reality of so many people working from home calls for additional solutions. The team at Hospitality Group that was responsible for Yello’s inception was asked to help ABN AMRO with this.
