A Look Inside BlackRock's Award-Winning Digital HQ

Seven years. That's how long BlackRock spent bringing its new global headquarters from vision to life.  In this episode of Get Reworked, Jen Schettino, head of digital workplace and control at BlackRock, shares the seven year journey the company undertook to reinvent not only its physical headquarters, but its digital. The team persevered through the pandemic and other setbacks to bring the headquarters to life in 2022 — which resulted in their recognition as a Reworked Impact Award winner for innovative use of workplace technology. "Change management was the key to our success and really helping people to understand before they ever stepped foot in that building what they were getting, I think really helped us in the weeks and months that followed. And that has been a huge lesson for us as we think about other technologies we roll out, as we tackle other moves like this," said Jen. Highlights of the conversation include: A discussion of the before and after of BlackRock's workplace. Why Jen credits change management for the success of the initiative.
