Work Styles
A Work Profile Survey identified five distinct Work Styles within the workforce population, each having characteristic workspace requirements and suitability levels for flexible work.
Occupancy Analysis
Badge data analysis determined that an average of 65% of employees badge into their assigned building, and identified the most mobile groups that could benefit from workplace flexibility programs.
Productivity Drivers
An analysis of productivity drivers identified the six aspects of the workplace environment that, if improved, would have the greatest positive impact on employee productivity.
Population Exploration
An analysis of a global employee population identified locations of residential concentration for possible drop-in centers, and the extent to which existing managers and employees are distributed/remote from their teams.
Collaboration Effectiveness
The employee impacts of an open plan workplace were evaluated to identify if the benefits outweighed the drawbacks. Ease of spontaneous collaboration and frequency of collaboration at the desk were found to be significant positive impacts.
Portfolio Analysis
Frontier Analysis across global field offices identified the most productive locations and determined the optimal efficiency levels to target through a field office renovation strategy.
Utilization Analysis
Utilization analysis of existing spaces was used to determine the optimal specifications for future collaborative task settings, which included room size, type of technology, nature of enclosure, and assignment.
Attraction and Retention
Research on millennial generation employees and interns identified the aspects of the work environment and work arrangement offerings that play a significant role in attracting and retaining the next generation of future employees.
Design Validation
Created an survey-based analytic process can be used to validate and localize design concepts (e.g., generate recommended allocation of space types based on local work patterns).
Vacancy Analysis
An integrated analysis of portfolio and occupant data for an organization identified a 30% “shadow” vacancy rate across a metro-area portfolio.
Work Arrangement Preferences
A workplace survey identified that 57% of employees choose non-dedicated work arrangements when associated with commute mitigation, and 96% of the employees desire some degree of work from home.
Post-Occupancy Evaluation
The results of pre- vs. post-occupancy evaluation were used for each global workplace redesign project to not only create an action plan for continuous improvement at the site, but to continually evolve the workplace standards to better meet the needs of the occupants.
Human Capital Impacts
Integration of HR and workplace data over several years was used to demonstrate the positive impact of workplace flexibility programs on human capital metrics including absenteeism, retention, performance, and productivity. Productivity gains of 34% were documented.
