Smarter transforms the workplace

Southwark Council is a local government organization that serves an area in the south of London, the UK’s capital city. It provides the citizens of Southwark with services including public housing, waste collection, council tax collection, education, libraries, social services, local planning, consumer protection, licensing, cemeteries and crematoria.

"Our Lenovo ThinkPad X390 laptops are at the center of our technology strategy, both now and looking ahead. They helped us rise to the challanges that the COVID-19 pandemic caused, to put us ahead of schedule in changing our capabilities and culture to better serve Southwark's citizens."

Smarter transforms the workplace

To keep Southwark running smoothly, the local government organization relies on a diverse workforce of 4,500 people. With budgets falling even as citizen expectations rise, the council is always looking for ways to optimize its operations. The organization recognized that it could do more to empower its employees to work to their full potential, and began building a vision of the ideal work environment.

By liberating its employees from fixed desks, Southwark Council also saw an opportunity to increase efficiency and promote collaboration. Making better use of existing space and giving staff the tools to work on the move would enable the organization to streamline its building facilities.
