Southeast Mortgage Unveils New Corporate Headquarters Equipped with Progressive Work-Life Balance Amenities

Georgia’s largest non-bank lender, Southeast Mortgage, has unveiled the firm’s new transformative headquarters, located at 3575 Koger Boulevard in Duluth, Georgia. The 31,000-square-foot office space that boasts a host of work-life balance amenities exemplifies the firm’s culture and dedication to employee health and well-being, serves as a reflection of the firm’s commitment to clients and their trusted partners, and functions as a conduit to attract and retain talent.

With millennials in the workplace continuing to shape a more fluid idea of work-life balance, Southeast Mortgage is adapting to the ever-growing trend of designing functional spaces that bridge the gap between employees’ personal and professional lives. In response to the trend, Southeast Mortgage took a critical look at how their office functioned and created a new office that aligns with how they work, their culture and their objective to integrate amenities that enable employees to pursue more balanced lives.The result: an innovative, functional and collaborative office space equipped with a full Work-Life Balance Center that serves as a vital tool to improve the lives of the firm’s employees while increasing productivity and enhancing the firm’s position in the marketplace.
