As technology continues to advance, so too does our ability to gather data. Occupancy sensors are a prime example of this. They are becoming increasingly popular in offices worldwide as a way to monitor space utilization and gather data on how people interact with their workspace. But, despite the abundance of data being collected, many people don't know how to use it effectively, particularly for strategic office planning.

The best way to improve employee engagement is to create an environment where employees can thrive, and great workspaces have a positive impact on employee attraction and retention. This includes everything from providing the tools and resources needed to do the job, to giving employees the freedom to be innovative and creative. When employees feel appreciated, they are more likely to stay at the company.

With rising costs and more remote work, many companies are questioning their office space needs. While some consider going fully remote, there are efficient ways to use existing spaces without giving them up entirely.

Office occupancy sensors is a technology that helps understand how office spaces are used, from registering how many people are present, which rooms are in use, to noting where they sit. Some sensors can even detect whether people are sitting or standing. They also track movement within the office and identify popular spots, providing valuable insights that can enhance office layout and efficiency.

Let's take a closer look at how sensor technology is being used in offices and what benefits it can bring.
