New pathways for nicos AG

In May 2022, nicos will relocate its headquarters from Muenster-Wolbeck directly back to Muenster.

To be more precise: We are moving to the new area “rob17” in Robert-Bosch-Straße in the rear area of the Dreieckshafen. Here, areas are currently being developed with good urban connections, an attractive network as well as proximity to water and nature  

The move supports our corporate responsibility strategy and our goal to consciously realign our actions towards the environment, sustainability, social issues: Through the new location of our headquarters, we realize shorter distances and smaller office spaces allowing for more decentralized work and reducing CO2 consumption. Sustainable energy, lighting and climate concepts are on the agenda.

In addition to sustainability, the well-being of the employees and thereofore a pleasant, healthy and creative working atmosphere are also in focus. Thus, nicos AG can continue to offer the highest quality and best possible customer service with a dedicated team.

Goodbye plastic bottles!
CO2-neutral water from your own tap

In the past, water came from plastic bottles as part of our beverage flat rate. This has come to an end in November 2020. Because since then, nicos has relied on a water dispenser system that delivers fresh water, either refreshingly cold or hot for tea, from our own tap at the touch of a button.

Thanks to this system, colleagues can simply “tap” their own water and incidentally avoid a huge CO2 footprint. However, the climate impact of mineral water is about 600 times higher than tap water.

And at the same time, we are now also making a contribution to avoiding plastic waste.

Can you drink tap water? Answers at the Consumer Center website.

Hock-in: new meeting format for and with colleagues

On Wednesday, October 7, 2020 our new Hock-in stools made their debut!

In line with our new meeting format, we chose these small wooden stools in a plug-in system, produced by a sustainable supplier in Lower Saxony and printed with our nicos signet. These stools offer the advantage that they can be stowed away to save space and can also be used at trade fairs or similar events.

There are many meeting formats, also at nicos. And the exchange across team boundaries and with all interfaces is essential for our daily business. And, however, now there comes another meeting format?

nicos “hock-in” – what’s that?

Yes! We would like to exchange with colleagues on various collaboration topics – without obligation to participate and without predefined objectives. Sounds like a “Lean Coffee” meeting, but it does not follow the structured approach to topic identification and discussion.

At the first big appearance of the hock-in stools, our focus was on “Experiences with the Home Office.” Colleagues from very different areas exchanged their views and experiences.

Currently, our hock-in stools have a forced break and are waiting for their next assignment. Themes abound. But the “Hock-in” is meant to be a face-to-face meeting and that is not possible at the moment due to Corona.

The future has begun

Thursday, August 6, 2020 – on the way by bike from Wolbeck to Muenster-City to Future e.V.

“Cycling from Wolbeck to Muenster-City, where I have an appointment with Future e.V., who will hopefully be able to give us some tips on what we need to keep in mind on our way towards sustainability, social compatibility, etc.

Which steps are to follow one after the other?

What hurdles are awaiting us?

And how have other companies dealt with them?”
