South China Morning Post moves with the times
A vision for the future as the Post makes its move
The traditional Lunar New Year clear-out has come early for the South China Morning Post this year, as staff embark on the first stage of a historic move that will reunify the company in state-of the-art offices designed to reflect and facilitate a makeover of its corporate culture.
The new year in the Chinese calendar marks an exciting new era for the 114-year-old Hong Kong newspaper publisher, which is undergoing a transformation into a digital media company as it remains committed to telling the story of a rising China to the world. The move to new offices, in the bustling heart of Causeway Bay, will strengthen the Post’s ability to do just this.
The first of six floors of the new Times Square offices was occupied by the Post’s magazines department yesterday, while newsroom staff will move into two more floors this weekend. The remainder of the Post’s staff – currently working elsewhere in Causeway Bay, and in Tai Po and Cyberport – will relocate in stages before the end of 2019.
Gary Liu, CEO of the South China Morning Post, said the move served four key requirements to push the company forward in its goals: fostering a digital culture, and creating an integrated organisation, agile environment and joyful workplace.
