Perks, Pods & Ping Pong: Why Your Office Deserves a Virtual Walkthrough

There’s a quiet revolution happening in office design and it’s anything but boring. From treehouse-inspired breakout spaces to on-site food trucks, golf simulators, beer gardens, and even "pet stipends" and scooter subscriptions, companies are doing whatever it takes to bring people back to the workplace.

As the arms race to woo employees intensifies, one thing is clear: the workplace has become a product. And like any product worth shouting about, it needs a showroom.

Enter: TwinSpace®.

According to a survey featured in The Times, nearly 40% of UK businesses are now using perks to incentivise a return to office. Whether it’s a rooftop terrace, dog-friendly zones, virtual golf rooms, or complimentary wellness programs, employers are investing heavily in creating spaces worth commuting to. But here's the catch: most candidates and clients never get to see it.

The Problem: Static Imagery Doesn’t Sell Experience Traditional recruitment relies on job descriptions, static office photos, and tired phrases like "vibrant culture" or "open-plan office". But that doesn’t cut it anymore, especially with Gen Z candidates who value transparency, flexibility, and experience.

If you’re a recruitment agency or a company with an incredible space, and you’re not using virtual walkthroughs to showcase it, you’re falling behind.

The Solution: Virtual Walkthroughs for Workplace Storytelling With TwinSpace, you can create a fully immersive, 3D digital version of your workplace. Let people:

• Walk through breakout zones

• Peek inside wellness pods

• Check out your in-house barista bar or rooftop views

• Explore accessibility, collaborative spaces, and quiet zones

It’s about giving them the feel of the place before they even walk through the door. You’re not just selling a job. You’re selling a lifestyle.

The fight for talent is real, and your client’s workplace is a huge differentiator. Offering candidates an immersive walkthrough of an office can:

• Boost confidence before interviews

• Reduce candidate dropouts

• Increase placement success by helping candidates visualise the role

You could be the first agency offering virtual office previews as part of your candidate experience. Game-changer.

Younger workers want to know everything before they commit. They’ll Google the CEO, stalk your Glassdoor reviews, and yes, they’ll judge your office if they can see it. If they can’t? You’ve already lost ground.

With flexible working here to stay, hybrid-first offices need to compete on more than just salary. Culture now has to be tangible and a digital twin can make it so.

A Quick Shout to Our Partners We’ve already created walkthroughs for some of the most stylish and dynamic spaces in Sheffield (see Domo and Gills & Co and wild card UK wrestling company PPW), and we’re just getting started.

If you run an office, manage talent, or design workspaces: now’s the time to think digital.

Your office is an experience. Let people walk through it. Let TwinSpace show them how.
