Leaders might guess they can shift from 1:1 people-to-desk ratios to 1.5:1, but that doesn’t mean much if employees aren’t bought in. Who wants to be crammed into a space that’s half empty the rest of the week?
What we’re seeing is that data can help bridge the gap -- between real estate teams, business leaders, CFOs, and employees. Instead of setting a policy and hoping it sticks, companies need to really understand what’s needed:
📏 How much space, really?
📞 How many conference rooms, break-out rooms, and phone booths?
🎨 What’s the right mix of creative zones vs. more traditional boardroom setups?
The ROI is massive. A 10% change in space per person can easily mean millions in annual savings (especially in more expensive markets)
But here’s the thing: every space decision also changes how people work. New offices need more than design -- they need a how-to guide. Teams need help figuring out how to organize themselves day-to-day.
We’ve seen companies pour resources into new space, with minimal impact. But once teams had the tools to make smarter decisions about how to use that space? The results were real and measurable.
In business, we tend to be pretty sharp on what we’re doing. Increasingly, companies are thoughtful about *why*. Real estate and facilities teams own the where. But no one’s really solving for the how -- especially when it comes to hybrid work. Are you curious how your teams are using space -- and how to make the most of it? Let’s talk.
