The 85 ft long spiral slide cuts the journey from the third floor down to seven seconds.
Toby Hyam, managing director at Creative Space Management, which runs the building, said, "Electric Works will be the first office building in the UK to have a permanent helter-skelter for the use of those who work there. It will also be available for business visitors, but it will not be open to the general public."
He added, "Companies working here feel the helter-skelter reflects their approach to work, where the division between work and play is blurred and where the risk, imagination and creativity that characterises their work is going to be reflected in their surroundings.
"In the current economic conditions it is encouraging to see digital businesses that are sufficiently confident to invest in new offices and facilities."
The building opens next week.
