Workplace Observation Study

Ensure you are using your workspace as efficiently and effectively as possible

Space is one of your most valuable assets, so it’s important to use it effectively. Our Workplace Observation Studies will ensure you use your space to its full potential.

Whether you want to implement a new workplace strategy or simply make some improvements, we have the expertise to help put your space to optimal use, without impacting business continuity or productivity. By tracking and monitoring your space and occupancy information, we’ll identify key metrics such as the most popular areas and facilities, whether meeting rooms are used efficiently, what behaviours are exhibited in meeting rooms, how storage space is used, and precisely who sits where, and when.

We’ll gather the data and insights to enable you to fully understand how much space your organisation has, how it’s actually being used, and what that means for your workplace strategy.

What does it involve?

Our goal is to give you the information you need to assess how effectively you are using your space and how it could be improved.

Conducting a detailed occupancy and behaviour survey of all workspaces at specific times each day

Carrying out a thorough storage audit and developing a reduction/conversion plan plan

Analysing the results and drawing up a rigorous Workplace Observation report that highlights areas for improvement

Reviewing policies or corporate changes that may impact space utilisation

Updating furniture and space plans, and delivering effective solutions

Drafting a final report to help you implement your new plan on-time and on-budget

Environmentally friendly offices

Protecting our planet by considering the environment is right at the top of many people’s agendas at the moment, and businesses can play their part too. Long gone are the days when being an environmental activist meant hugging trees at proposed development sites. Now, everyone is coming around to realise that we all need to work collectively to save the planet for future generations, with wealthy investors and powerful governments all getting on board.

How to create an office community

We spend a large chunk of our time at work, possibly chatting to our colleagues more than our loved ones. Most people during their careers will experience the good and the bad when it comes to office environments, from deadly silence to raucous banter, or tense and serious to relaxed and happy.

How to create a flexible office space

With more businesses moving away from the traditional 9-5 working day, so too has the need for a conventional office space. Many businesses are looking at ways to enable staff to work in a more flexible way, offering flexible working hours, opportunities to work from home, part time positions and shared job roles. With this new flexible working comes the need to review working space for employees and assess whether the design still works, or if changes need to be made.
