Planning for the future of work?

Prepare for rapid change intelligently by benchmarking and optimizing your use of office space.

The needs of your business and employees are changing faster than your workplace can keep up. But you're not alone. 

Did you know?

  • The average worker is at their desk 40% of their working day
  • 80% of work is defined as “collaborative"

By tracking utilization, we uncover valuable insights so workplace planners can spark real productivity. We can trim pointless spending on large offices in favor of a more collaborative space. We can appeal better to millennials and others who prefer an “anytime, anywhere” work ethos.

Our 2018 Occupancy Benchmarking Report highlights the role of data and advanced analytics in shaping workplace strategy for an ever-changing world of work. A full 77% of respondents said a primary goal for their real estate team this year is to improve space data accuracy. As the number-one response, this points to the pressure corporate real estate leaders are under to make even better-informed decisions. Respondents cited other important goals as well: optimizing the portfolio, reducing overall portfolio costs, and increasing the use of utilization data for planning.
