Case studies

Each result belongs to its organisation and its starting point. The cases show what the measurements made visible, not what another office will save.

  Understanding what was driving employee turnover

  Challenge

  Turnover had reached 18%, but leadership could not determine whether culture, the workplace or hybrid working was driving employees to leave.

  What we found

  The analysis uncovered issues around autonomy, comfort, privacy, hybrid coordination, meeting spaces and the experience of newer employees.

  Impact

  Addressing the highest-impact issues reduced turnover to 15%, significantly lowering replacement costs while improving the employee experience.

  Proving the existing workplace had enough capacity

  Challenge

  The company was preparing to lease additional office space to support future growth.

  What we found

  Occupancy data showed how much of the existing workplace was actually being used and revealed sufficient spare capacity to accommodate the projected workforce.

  Impact

  The organization avoided the planned expansion, saving approximately $1.2M per year in additional real estate costs.

  Designing the right workplace before a lease renewal

  Challenge

  The organization needed to define its future workplace requirements before committing to its next lease.

  What we did

  We modeled workforce needs, attendance, schedules and different space mixes to determine the right footprint and configuration.

  Impact

  The recommended plan reduced the required footprint from 14,000 m² to 12,600 m², while maintaining the required capacity and mix of spaces, reducing potential annual real estate costs by approximately $630K.

  Turning reservations into better space utilization

  Challenge

  Desks and meeting rooms were frequently booked but left unused, reducing availability and making office days harder to coordinate.

  What we did

  We combined booking activity with Occupancy sensor, IoT and observation data to compare reservations with actual space use.

  Impact

  No-shows dropped from 18% to 10%, while utilization increased from 52% to 60%, making approximately 120 additional bookings available each week without adding space.
