What is a workspace strategy?
A workspace strategy ensures alignment between the physical work environment and an organisation’s business strategy, employees and work processes.
The strategy provides organisations with a framework to guide their decisions regarding the physical layout of a workspace. This ensures that the space effectively supports employees’ ways of working now and in the future.
By investing in a workspace strategy, an organisation’s goals and objectives can be connected to the design and layout of the physical workspace.

Our capabilities
The executive briefings consists of interviews and focus groups to establish the direction of the workspace change (goals, values, experiences).
Observation studies involve on-site observations, usually for two weeks, observing current workspace utilisation and behaviours to determine what the future workspace could look like.
Workspace Needs Surveys engage all employees in the change process and ensure that the needs of the workforce are captured in the workspace strategy.
By teaching leaders and managers about ABW and helping them understand how to overcome the unique challenges they may face, we can assist in reaching their desired outcomes.
A workspace pilot program provides a testing platform that allows employees to experience possible workspace settings and share feedback that will ultimately drive workspace design.
Considering the identified change objectives, we match the performance metrics and evaluate these objectives using data pre and post-occupancy.
