The document discusses the importance of utilizing workplace analytics to address underutilization of office spaces, which can be as high as 60% due to a mobile workforce. It advocates for gathering occupancy data to inform corporate real estate decisions and develop strategies that suit modern work patterns.

"HOW MUCH SPACE SHOULD WE
PROJECT FOR OUR NEXT LEASE?"
An increasingly mobile workforce is
now leaving up to 60% of the
workplace underutilized. Gather
occupancy data before negotiating
a lease to know what is true for a
specific space.
Data from a utilization study will
confirm a company's current use
patterns, and highlight difference
between departments and teams.
Then, in a new space, the utilization
data provides insights into not just
occupancy, but activities in those
spaces. The data can inform a new
workplace strategy that serves the
modern workforce more effectively.

Our
OVERVIEW
"WE’RE OUT OF SPACE FOR OUR
GROWING HEADCOUNT."
The data from a utilization study will
show how space is actually used by
employees. If desks, offices, and
meeting rooms haven't changed
much in the past few years, chances
are good that new strategies for
workplace design can accommodate
higher headcount, and thus buy
some time before more space is
needed.
"WE HAVE A CORPORATE MANDATE
TO REDUCE OPERATIONS COSTS."
Align real estate strategy with
business strategy. If headcount is not
changing much, understanding how
space is used can help consolidate a
real estate portfolio, or shift to areas
where employees want to be.
An "office vs. workstation"
comparative analysis, work
mode analysis (how people
work) and mobility analysis
(where people work) will help
drive big real estate decisions
forward with confidence.
