Floor Plan 2.0: Discovering Your Future Office
6
Occupancy and utilization rates have traditionally been the
most crucial metrics in decisions about office space. How
much of your capacity are you actually using?
In the return to the office, these figures won't look like
they did pre-COVID. If you're implementing some form
of a dynamic workplace or hybrid model of working f rom
home and working in-person, you can't expect utilization,
occupancy and utilization rates to follow the trajectory you
had before.
That's OK. But pay attention to those empty spaces. In the
office of the future, you'll need to make sure that the supply
of space keeps up with demand—but you don't want to pay
for space your employees won't use, either.
Dedicating more space to hoteling can increase your
utilization rates because it allows a larger pool of employees
to share and access the same supply of space. But that all
depends on the makeup of your staff and your goals as an
organization. If you allow people to work remotely full-time,
you'll want to allocate less space for hoteling. You can also
assign specific in-office days to meet your occupancy and
usage goals.
