Hybrid work
Hybrid working has permanently altered how organisations use office space. We help leadership teams define desk-sharing ratios, neighbourhood structures, and booking policies grounded in actual attendance data rather than assumptions.
Utilisation analysis to determine the right desk ratio
Assigning one desk per employee wastes space when average attendance is three days per week. We analyse badge data, Wi-Fi logs, or manual observation records to calculate peak and average occupancy, then recommend desk-sharing ratios that balance cost efficiency with employee experience.
Our analysis reports include sensitivity modelling showing how desk requirements change if attendance policies shift by one day per week.
Neighbourhood design for team cohesion
Hot-desking without structure erodes team identity. We design neighbourhood zones where related teams sit together on arrival days, with shared storage, team boards, and consistent desk configurations that make any seat feel like home base.
Neighbourhood layouts include anchor desks for team leads, flexible positions for rotating members, and adjacent collaboration areas sized for typical group sizes.
Booking infrastructure and policy recommendations
Technology alone does not solve hybrid space management. We advise on booking system selection, reservation windows, no-show policies, and integration with existing calendaring tools used by your organisation.
Policy frameworks address common friction points: desk hogging, meeting room hoarding, and the balance between assigned and shared resources for different role types.
Workshops from CHF 3'400Technology-enabled collaboration spaces
Hybrid teams need spaces optimised for video participation, not just in-person meetings. We specify room layouts, camera positions, display sizes, and acoustic treatments that ensure remote participants are equal contributors to every session.
Technology room guidelines are produced in coordination with your AV integrator and IT department, with equipment budgets estimated in CHF per room type.
Change management support for policy rollout
Spatial changes succeed only when accompanied by clear communication and leadership endorsement. We provide rollout timelines, FAQ documents, and manager briefing materials that explain the rationale behind new desk-sharing and booking policies.
Post-launch review sessions at 30 and 90 days capture employee feedback and identify layout or policy adjustments needed to improve adoption rates.
Cost modelling for reduced footprint scenarios
Hybrid policies often justify smaller premises at lease renewal. We model the financial impact of footprint reduction, including rent savings, fit-out costs for reconfigured space, and ongoing operational expenses in CHF over a five-year period.
Cost models are formatted for CFO review and include break-even analysis comparing stay-in-place renovation against relocation to a smaller floor plate.
