Creating workspaces that work

When you see how space is truly used, you gain a new perspective on how to create the best possible workspaces

Patterns of space usage tell us a story about not just employee needs but also the underlying dynamics of the work culture.

Understanding how space is really used is key to making better planning decisions. By seeing how areas are actually used, we can make small but meaningful changes that create workplaces that are sustainable, productive, and boost employee satisfaction. This means designing rooms that fit real needs, avoiding extra spaces that aren’t needed, and building an office that supports the way people work.

What your office space says about you: Insights from 300,000 observations

Office spaces may feel like they’re fully utilized, but our data reveals a different story. Often, rooms go unused, chairs sit empty, and space is left wasted. By understanding how space is truly used, we can create far better and more sustainable workspaces that truly meet employees’ needs.

In this webinar you will learn more about:

• How understanding actual usage patterns can help right-size rooms for the way people really work

• How to avoid space that is unnecessary to make room for space that is needed

• Trends like the frequent use of meeting rooms by only one person and what this means for planning

• How small changes can reduce the number of empty chairs and underused rooms, saving resources and making spaces more purposeful

• Practical tips for designing future office spaces based on current occupancy patterns
