How to Successfully Transition to a New Work Model: The Leader's Guide
Copyright © 2024 Tango. All rights reserved.
As you roll out the transition to your new work model, your
space utilization data shows you how employees interact
with your ofce space. Sometimes, you'll discover ways
that you may want to adjust your plan. But more likely,
you'll discover ways to help employees adjust to the plan.
For example, suppose there's a meeting room that always
seems to be booked, making it difcult for employees
to nd the space they need to collaborate. With access
to your space utilization data, you can see the days and
times that meeting room tends to be available, as well as
alternative spaces that have similar capacity or capabilities.
By communicating proactively with employees and
keeping them informed about the best ways to nd the
space and resources they need, you can eliminate friction
and improve employee satisfaction.
It's also worth bearing in mind that even if you're simply
transitioning back to a model you've used before,
your employees may have vastly different needs and
expectations than they had last time. Your actual
employee population may have changed substantially as
well. Are there more employees who live outside city limits
or out of state? More diversity? Stronger preferences for
a particular kind of work? Or more experience with the
model you're returning to? For example, they may expect
to reserve parking spots, lockers, amenities, equipment,
and other shared resources that used to rely on a rst
come, rst served system. You'll need to ensure your
reservation software can accommodate your ofce's
specic needs.
