Property professionals walk round the office and see how poorly used the estate is
Since 2004 Plan B Solutions has researched and analysed workplaces. Using our ever-growing knowledge base, and 20 years’ of experience, we partner with leading organisations to create working strategies – and the workplaces that support them – enabling clients to:
Workplace Strategy
Now that workplaces often compete with homes, we work with clients to determine the role of their workplaces within the working locations’ jigsaw.
We establish the specific needs of different cohorts of staff and identify where and how workplaces can best satisfy those needs.
We shift the balance of effectiveness towards the office for those with less conducive home environments whilst optimising the workplace for collaborative activities.
Workplaces for the Hybrid Workforce
Since home-working became widespread the demands of the office – for individuals and teams alike – has evolved.
Our hybrid workplace solutions reflect your organisation’s changing needs whilst unlocking flexibility to ensure that you can size your estate to achieve savings which recognise the substantial reduction in average utilisation levels recently experienced.
Creating workplaces which are well used and used well.

INSIGHT BRIEFING
The Workplace Paradox
The Workplace Paradox
Teams complain that they simply do not have enough space
Our evidence explains how this can be true and what solutions give teams exactly what they need AND allow the estate to be reduced in size.
Workplace Performance Appraisal
Our Workplace Performance Appraisals go beyond simple assessments.
We identify underperforming areas, optimise space usage, and improve team collaboration.
We challenge inefficient, organically evolved workplace sharing models and provide evidence-based strategies to enhance productivity, eliminate dead space and reduce costs.
Desk Booking Solutions
It’s true – in today’s shared workplaces, efficient resource management and desk booking systems are essential for maximising productivity and minimising wasted space.
A booking system though is just one piece of the solution… and it’s not where you start.
At Plan B Solutions, we specialise in creating smart workplace environments powered by the right systems. Our independent expertise ensures you don’t just get a booking system — you get the right system for your unique needs.
