How We Planned the Move
The decision-making process behind our office building assignments was rooted in a few core principles:
- Flexible workstation arrangement allows teams to utilize space effectively;
- Keep teams as intact as possible to maximize teamwork and productivity; and
- Strategic co-location with the business where applicable to ensure partner collaboration is easy and seamless.

We're planning a phased transition throughout this year. To ensure a smooth move for everyone, we're committed to providing plenty of lead time and clarity.

While selecting the right space can optimize the individual and team experience, we encourage you to be considerate of the nature and size of your meeting when making your reservation. Please choose a room that aligns with your group size, ensuring larger spaces are reserved for larger gatherings.
Universal Workstations
Our campus is thoughtfully designed, keeping our associates and Walmart culture at the forefront. Workstation personalization should be used via the following guidelines:
- All campus-based associates will be assigned a team zone by their independent business areas with reservable workstations.
- Workstations are deliberately minimalistic, designed for associates to maintain a tidy and organized workspace.
- Workstation is equipped with a wireless mouse, keyboard, HD webcam and a 34" curved monitor. This curved monitor supports all enterprise devices and also replicates the functionality of a dual-monitor setup while consuming 20% less electricity compared to traditional dual monitors.
- If your role requires changes to your workstation technology, you may request alternate configuration and if you qualify for ADA Workplace Accommodations this approval process will support any needed changes.
- Role-based workstation technology exceptions will be reviewed by Corporate Real Estate, Business Unit leadership, and Global Tech and all costs will be billed to your leader’s cost center.
- Leaving personal items on desks is discouraged during phase 1, as associates will be hoteling. Once 1:1 seating is achieved at the end state, associates can personalize their workstations with smaller items like picture frames, but plants, appliances, and large items are not permitted.
- Private offices are not offered in the workplace design, Walmart officers will be allocated a huddle room closest to their team/workstation when and where available.
- Officers are encouraged to make these huddles available for their team when not in use, with executive assistants helping manage the use of this space.
Workstations
Universal Workstation Design provides a height adjustable desk, rolling desk chair, moveable pedestal (file drawers), bag hook, 34” ultra-wide HD curved monitor, high-definition external webcam and universal wireless mouse/keyboard.
Officer Huddle
Walmart officers will be allocated a huddle room closest to their team/workstation when and where available.

Review the guidelines before reserving your space:
Reserving Guidelines
