Introduction
The 2025 Enterprise Occupancy Tracking Report
Occupancy monitoring—tracking the
presence of people in physical space—has
played a key role in space management for
decades, but over the last few years, the
widespread adoption of hybrid work
revealed just how ill-equipped most
organizations were to perform occupancy
analytics and leverage the insights it
yielded.
Reliance on badge scans and manual
walkthroughs leaves major gaps in a
company's ability to effectively track space
utilization, not all of which can be filled by
even the most advanced desk booking
solutions. A surge of occupancy monitoring
technologies emerged to close these gaps,
offering the granular real-time occupancy
insights enterprises needed, but for most
organizations, the cost of adoption
overshadowed the potential for real-estate
savings. More recently, sensorless
occupancy monitoring solutions entered
the fray, providing most of the data
enterprises need at a fraction of the cost.
But adoption remains low, and occupancy
monitoring remains a challenge.

In 2025, many previously remote and
hybrid workplaces have finally
implemented return-to-office mandates
that have been years in the making. In the
wake of this return to work, some
companies are questioning whether they
have too much space while others are
finding that they don't have enough. Both
scenarios can be resolved with better
occupancy analytics—but just how
equipped are large enterprises to navigate
this area? We conducted a study to find
out.
