43% of people globally do not agree that their office enables them to work productively.1

Workspace Experience Assessment

Is it really surprising then, that employees don’t want to return to the office? Yet in a GCUC report, 87% of respondents said that having a “Great Office” makes them want to go to work. What constitutes a “Great Office”? It can be difficult to define.

We are here to help you understand your workspace. In many cases, it is not about spending more on your space or having the latest technology. It is about having spaces and technology that are relevant to the activities of employees and their preferences for how they like to work.

Only 57% of people globally think that their office creates an enjoyable environment to work in. Improving your office performance can deliver you a return on investment of 400 percent through improved staff performance. Not only could you be missing out on cost savings, but an opportunity for you to reinvest in your business.

Our Workplace Experience Assessment will help you to:

  • identify what works well in your workspace and what could be better
  • improve both the effectivity and appeal of the working environment you provide
  • eliminate wasted space and potentially allow you to reduce space and save
  • improve both the physical and digital experience.
  • encourage a dispersed workforce back to your office
  • improve talent attraction and retention
  • reduce employee stress
  • improve cognitive function, physical health, and psychological wellbeing of employees, increase productivity, innovation, and your business’s bottom line

Our Assessment is holistic and assesses all aspects of the workspace both physical and digital but also how they integrate to create experiences. Understanding your workspace and ensuring it is relevant to employee needs can have a significant impact on your people and your business.

Leading organizations will boldly question long-held assumptions about how work should be done and the role of the office. There is no one-size-fits-all solution4.

Building
Evaluations

In an era of uncertainty committing to an office lease can be daunting. How do you ensure that you select the right space for your organisation’s specific needs?

While traditionally we have focused on Location, Size and Price as critical factors in making this decision, even these factors are not as simple as they seem. Office rental price is tied to size as you pay rent per square foot. However, the realtor will quote the “net lettable area”, this may not equate with the “net usable area”, a space that appears large and reasonably priced may actually provide less usable space than a smaller or more expensive space and thus be less cost-effective.

As organisations strive to provide a better quality of workspace experience for employees there are many more factors you need to consider when selecting a workspace.

Many decision-makers struggle to visualise what their office could look and feel like when they are looking at an empty shell, we have the imagination and knowledge to see beyond this. We can assist by evaluating your list of potential spaces to identify the right one to fit your specific workspace needs.
Our building evaluations service can help you to:

  • ensure you lease the right amount of space for your needs
  • ensure you are not paying for space you cannot use.
  • potentially save money on your rent
  • be certain that the space can provide the desired employee experience
  • understand the fit-out operating costs of the space, so you evaluate based on total cost not just the rental
  • be aware of lease clauses or landlord requirements that can be onerous or costly for you
  • select the best fit solution for the creation of your workspace
