LIVING OFFICE
Placemaking Certifications
Andrea Northrop recently participated in the Living Office Placemaking practicum, which is an 8 week course that results in a Placemaking Certificate through Herman Miller.

We are so proud of Andrea's 101/110 score! At Sedgwick, our team is encouraged to achieve industry leading certifications and we wholeheartedly support continuing education programs!

SEDGWICK FUN FACT
Did you know that over a lifetime, the average person spends 90,000 hours at work?
We’ve all heard the joke before – “This place is like my second home!” This statement is actually true for a lot of the working force. And now more than ever, the workplace landscape is changing from tall cubicles and private offices to a more comfortable and adaptable space for employees to enjoy and thrive at work. Sedgwick Business Interiors can help guide your business to stay abreast with the growing trends and keep your employees happy and focused during those 90,000 hours!
INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE
eSports - What is it!?!
This new billion-dollar industry is taking the world by storm. But what exactly is eSports? Well, move over NFL & NBA, competitive sporting is going virtual. All over the world, people are competing in organized video gaming events and earning some big pay-outs in the process. These tournaments and events even attract viewing crowds that rival most traditional professional sports broadcasting. The world of competitive video gaming has grown at such a substantial rate, that colleges are even taking steps to accommodate this growing interest by offering varsity eSports programs or creating designated gaming facilities. Some even in our back yard:
Cazenovia College
Hartwick College
Keuka College
Molloy College
St. Thomas Aquinas College
SUNY Canton
Wagner College
Syracuse University
So if you haven’t heard much about the world of competitive eSports gaming yet, you probably will very soon. eSports gaming is expected to only continue growing in popularity every year.
