First… Your Workplace Operating Model
Does your office often feel like a ghost town, yet teams still struggle to find enough space in their areas on busy days?
Simply making desks bookable without addressing underlying operational inefficiencies will not turn a poorly performing office into a smart one. After all, give staff a desk booking system and they will simply use it (or worse still avoid using it) and carry on operating the desks in the way they always have.
That’s why our first step with you is to design the right workplace operating model for your shared estate – one that:
- Supports staff and teams to be productive and
- Achieves space efficiency – enabling you to re-size your estate to benefit from the reduced average utilisation levels seen post-COVID
