DESIGN INSIGHT

‍

Right-sizing Your Office for a Shifting Workforce

‍One big thing: Your workplace design may be keeping people from the office.

‍Why it Matters: Prioritizing productivity, space efficiency, and employee well-being can optimize your real estate and create a workspace where employees thrive.

‍The Takeaway: A data-driven workplace strategy can attract people back to the office.

‍Go Deeper: A workplace strategy doesn’t just fit desks into a floor plan; it involves crafting tailored space solutions that reflect the evolving needs of your business and employees.Our workplace strategy is a three-step process:

1. Space Usage Studies: We assess how office space is utilized, focusing on employee density, adjacencies, meeting room usage, amenity and support spaces, and the balance between private and collaborative areas.
2. Space Programming: Insights from the space usage analysis, along with leadership and employee questionnaires and interviews help us tailor the office design to the organization’s unique worker profiles. We map out how much space is required for each function and tailor the design to support everything from high-focus individual tasks to high-energy teamwork.
3. Visioning: We conduct interactive sessions with stakeholders to ensure that the design reflects and supports the organization's culture.

The Bottom Line: By adopting a comprehensive workplace strategy, organizations can create work environments that remain agile, efficient, and aligned with the needs of their business and workforce, both today and in the years to come.
