Why measure space?

• Vital to track how and where employees work to provide the right space, they need to be more productive, collaborative and fulfilling
• Establish more efficient targets for use of facilities
• Eliminate the risk of overcrowding or underutilizing the space and negatively affecting the occupier experience
• Provide a return on investment in the workplace by determining a true utilization ratio that justifies the space investment
• Reduce excess costs by understanding the unused capacity at the building or floor level

Analytics

• Identify and match the utilization method to fit your needs
• Target keyspace types to be monitored for use by staff
• Look for daily utilization patterns on a floor plate & building
• Look for utilization trends in various space types

Outcomes

• Identify what space solutions are working and not working
• Outline key recommendations that are scalable and adaptable (can be applied globally)
• Identify a framework for a potential kit of parts approach for better space utilization
• Contributes to potential programs for schematic designs
• Input for future change management program (i.e. upcoming relocations and new occupancies)

Strategic Space Planning and Programming

An efficient advanced workplace strategy (AWS) integrates the key elements of physical space design, information technology (both infrastructure and devices), and effective HR policies to better enable work and increase operational efficiency.

HHQ will maximize the aesthetics and functionality to deliver more flexible, efficient, agile, and dynamic workspaces.  We recognize that Workplace Design has a direct impact on employee productivity, job satisfaction, and general well-being. For these reasons – we ensure you get your workplace design right at the onset.  We believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach for any Activity Based Working (ABW) or Hybrid Workplace Strategy (HWS), each program needs to be tailored to reflect an organization’s business model and culture.

In practice, the activity-based concept is often combined with other workplace concepts and design ideas such as remote working, co-working, collaborative space, agile working, and healthy offices. We can discuss the most important ones with you to determine which is the right application for your organization.

The shift to hybrid work is a pivotal moment that requires asking new questions: What should be done remotely? How do we bring people back to the workplace safely?
