When work is fun

27. 9. 2023

The legendary LEGO® community has been a part of the free time of millions of kids worldwide since the 1930s. The Czech Republic has been involved since 2000 in the production of the popular building set for both small and large – a factory opened in Kladno, processing part of the world’s LEGO® production and packing a large group of products into boxes as seen on store shelves. I would most likely surprise you that not all is run from the northern reaches (HQ in Denmark), but also from Liberec, CR. We talked to Jan Ružička, Head of Commercial Analytics & Insights REEMEA at the LEGO® Group, about what it is like to work for the LEGO® company, what makes them proud about their modern office at DOCK IN THREE, and how big a role it plays in the company’s success.

From Lighthouse to the Docks: On a visit to LMC

30. 6. 2023

There’s no office like an office. You would certainly agree on a visit with us to LMC headquarters – or rather to an oasis of Zen… Is it even possible to call the activities in such premises work? They know something about this at LMC: Twenty-seven years ago, they founded the Jobs.cz portal, which today is one of the most important sources of information about job vacancies on the Czech Internet. How was the interior created, which has taken employee needs into account since its outset? This was revealed to us by Markéta Kalinová, Head of People Experience & Office at LMC.

The Fragile World of Crystal

28. 6. 2023

It may seem that in the modern world, business is dominated by technologies, leaving no time left for emotions. But there are brands out there that directly build on feelings, impressions and atmosphere. The Czech company Preciosa, firmly and permanently established in so-called Crystal Valley in northern Bohemia, is a shining example of this :). And who could resist such a play on words – after all, what else is the purpose of crystal than to break up light into bright, positive rays? We chatted with Lucie Karlova, CEO of Preciosa Lighting, at their administrative headquarters in DOCK IN ONE, about the most demanding light installations, how home is still home, and how Preciosa’s pro­duction and design center in Kamenický Šenov looks today.

Earth Day has been celebrated all over the world on April 22 since 1970, with the aim of drawing the attention to the need to protect our environment.

What do we do to keep it green and healthy for a long time?

Entrepreneurship can be both ethical and successful at the same time

5. 12. 2022

The world of business has recently been driven by the often-mysterious letter combination ESG. It is an English acronym meaning environmental, social and corporate governance – that’s the easy part. But what do these three benign letters really mean, e.g., for companies, their employees and all the others who come into contact with Crestyl and its projects? That’s what we asked Magda Pokorná, Chief Corporate Officer at Crestyl.

“Momma, will you let me go to Madagascar after New Year’s?” I asked my wife once. “Only if I go with you!” was the resolute answer. After all, Madagascar is Paradise and the dream of every traveler! There is no other place in the world with more exciting “endemic” experiences. This destination’s in­timate charm far outweighed the potential pitfalls of the Madagascar monsoon season.

Czech elections are about emotions

7. 9. 2022

We have a presidential election coming up at the beginning of next year. The campaigns are now getting underway, but many Czechs don’t even think about the successor of the current head of state, or leave their decision to the last minute. In an exclusive interview, we asked Jan Tuček, director of the renowned Czech research agency STEM/MARK, how he sees the presidential election and more.

7. 9. 2022

Turkey is the land of mosques, Cappadocia, ancient monuments, kebabs and beaches. Yes, undoubtedly these and much more. But that description falls short of the mark for a country with such breathtaking landscapes, great cuisine and an endless array of alluring forms.
