Grand Opening of Avoya Travel’s New Innovation Center to Fuel Future Growth

Grand Opening of Avoya Travel's New Innovation Center to Fuel Future Growth

The State of the Art Building Houses Tools for Success, Community and Growth for Avoya Travel

 

January 24th, 2020 – Fort Lauderdale, FL – FindaHostTravelAgency.com was in attendance at the Grand Opening of the new home for the Avoya Travel team. Located in a prime location in North County San Diego, the office is not only beautiful but has been completely renovated to reflect the new Strategic Leadership Team’s vision, goals and aspirations.

 

The Innovation Center will help Avoya continue to attract and retain top talent by creating meaningful interactions and experiences, and to develop more innovative advancements to Agent Power™, Avoya’s proprietary agent operating system, along with further platform capabilities that will generate even more Shared Success™ across all stakeholders – travelers, supplier partners and Independent Agencies.

Avoya integrated new video-first technology into the buildout to accelerate collaboration as well as cross-team productivity. Now, in-office personnel can better connect with remote employees, supplier partners and Independent Agencies using video chat and live-stream meetings. The new Innovation Center has integrated seating arrangements that allow employees at all levels increased access to one another with the goal of improving teamwork, communication and collaboration.

Employees enjoy top-tier amenities including thoughtful individual workspaces, private phone booths, collaborative meeting rooms and gathering areas. A lounge offers comfortable pods and couches to support a variety of staff work styles and functions. The main hub is an atrium café that encourages employee community and wellbeing. Here staff have flexibility, can socialize, listen to music and have access to an arcade, unlimited snack bar and more.

Grand Opening Celebration Announced to Usher in New Era for Company

 

The open area can accommodate inclusive company events, meetings and a broad range of functions for all staff and stakeholders. Ergonomic sit-to-stand desks, a new aromatherapy room, game room, gym access and a premium coffee station are also available to facilitate high performance with comfort, convenience and wellness throughout the workday.

 

Avoya’s recently refreshed logo and color palette are integrated into purposeful interior design that brings the Avoya brand experience to life. Intentionally playing on the natural light and mountain views, the interior elements create an organic, clean and bright feel to Avoya’s new Innovation Center. A lush living wall will greet visitors, warm wood grains and other features inspired by the earth’s topography, maps and travel give natural energy to the workplace.

 

“We are thrilled to open our new Innovation Center where our staff and key stakeholders can inspire and invent together in an environment thoughtfully designed to embody Avoya Travel’s core values and our mission of enriching lives through inspiring travel experiences as the number one vacation platform,” said Jeff Anderson, Co-President of Avoya Travel. “We look forward to showcasing the new center at our Grand Opening event and celebrating what Avoya Travel, our employee family, supplier partners and Independent Agencies have already accomplished together with our innovative plans for the future of vacation travel planning.”

 

The new Innovation Center is in San Marcos, California, a rapidly developing community with many dining and entertainment options nearby and easy access to public rail transportation.
