Across corporate real estate, one question keeps coming up:
“What’s the right number of desks for our team?”
For many CRE leaders, the stakes are high.
Too much space, and you’re burning cash. Too little, and teams feel frustrated—especially if they’re being asked to commute in and can’t find a place to land.
Most companies aim for a higher people-to-desk ratio, but without a clear roadmap, that goal often dies on the vine. No one wants to be the department that cut too deep. No one wants to push a change that backfires.
That’s where BalancedWork comes in.
We help organizations get the data they need to act confidently.
Our platform analyzes internal calendars, org charts, and work patterns to give a real picture of how space is being used—and how it should be used.
Rather than relying on badge swipes or gut feel, we look at:
Then we show how space can be used more efficiently—without hurting productivity or culture. We show how many people, from what teams, really should be in the office each day. To support implementation, we generate real-time recommendations and nudges, at the team and individual level.
With our approach, companies can:
✅ Increase their people-to-desk ratio
✅ Reduce unnecessary time in the office (and the frustration that comes with it)
✅ Align real estate with business goals—so CRE leaders have hard data to support long-term planning
✅ Manage and measure performance with daily, weekly and monthly dashboards
Here’s the bottom line:
Most companies have some hybrid policy—but few have the right data to back it up. BalancedWork helps real estate teams bring clarity to the chaos of modern work. And that means real savings—and real impact.
If you’re thinking about optimizing space or renegotiating leases this year, we’d love to show you what’s possible.
Let’s make hybrid work work for everyone—especially your bottom line.
