Reimagine the workplace with a hybrid office design

The future of work is hybrid

As a forward-thinking business, you know that flexibility is king. The right office execution can create opportunities for teams to thrive. But in the absence of accurate, reliable data, it’s difficult to quantify what offices need right now, and why.

Measuring and understanding employee behavior onsite is an approach we’ve coined Indoorology, and it’s the bedrock for a meaningful hybrid office strategy.

It starts with a hypothesis

Whatever your focus of study, InnerSpace makes it easy to measure the before, during and after of your hybrid workplace experiment, providing quantitative data that validates and informs decisions.

Step 1

Set a baseline metric: Measure how people use the space - when they arrive, where they go, what resources they use, how often, and for how long. Compare this with company data showing productivity.

Step 2

Conduct your experiment: Swap underused desk zones for collaborative spaces, combine mostly-remote teams to the same neighborhoods; spread mostly-onsite teams across larger spaces.

Step 3

Analyze the data: Has anything changed? If so, add qualitative tactics - surveys, or 1:1 interviews, to find out more.

Step 4

Draw your conclusion: Use these data-driven insights to validate decisions and inform future iterations of the office.

The office as we knew it is gone

Employees want to use offices for human moments, like face-to-face interactions, and team collaboration, but not every day. Today’s office must serve a purpose that furthers the work to be done. Savvy companies are rethinking the office as a valuable resource designed to support the remote work model.

This requires a deep understanding of work team behaviors: how employees work, what they need to be effective, and how often they collaborate.

InnerSpace data can support macro applications such as determining real estate ROI, but can also be applied to micro purposes, such as directing employees to available workspaces for a frictionless workday.
