Why monitor office utilization?  

Most organizations today struggle with office utilization. Ineffective hybrid strategies have led to low foot traffic and high operating costs. Many downsized offices are crammed and disliked. The best chance of achieving perfect office space utilization is by understanding exactly what is and what isn’t being used. Which areas are people using? At what times? What types of work are they doing there?

The sensor-based approach  

In the past, companies relied on headcounts, assessments on randomized days, or timestamps, but these methods are labor-intensive and only provide a small glimpse of the full picture. Today there's a much better option. If you do it right, avoid common sensor mistakes, and follow best practices for space usage analytics, sensor technologies give you automated data about your workplace usage over the long term. You’ll have easy-to-access insights to confidently redesign, refurbish, right size offices, optimize CRE portfolios, measure the success of your hybrid policies, and more. 

Understanding office usage is a
breeze with the right plan.
