FAQs

Learn more on how to navigate the office space downsizing

How can you transition to a hybrid work model?

Transitioning to a hybrid work model involves several key steps. Start by creating a checklist to ensure a smooth transition. This should include consulting your employees to understand their needs and preferences. Prepare the necessary technology setup for remote work and ensure seamless communication and collaboration tools are in place. This step is crucial in maintaining productivity and employee satisfaction in a hybrid work environment.

How does deskbird help in downsizing?

deskbird is the ultimate tool for informing the downsizing process. Knowing past, present, and future office usage patterns allows you and your businesses to make informed decisions about the space needed, identify underutilized areas, and understand peak usage times. You can be confident that your office space decisions are based on data and informed decisions with deskbird.

What about increasing space?

deskbird's Analytics and data insights provide comprehensive information on office occupancy trends, including peak occupancy days. When combined with future hiring plans, this data helps you make informed decisions about expanding your workspace to accommodate growth without incurring unnecessary expenses.

We are moving to a new office. How can we ensure an optimum employee/desk ratio?

Analyzing your office data and past usage patterns is critical to maximizing your office space. This will help you establish the perfect employee-to-desk ratio in your new office. By doing so, you can accurately calculate the required number of desks based on actual usage. Additionally, introducing a hybrid work policy can help optimize this ratio since not all employees need a desk daily. With these measures in place, you can confidently ensure that your office space is efficiently utilized and that your employees have the necessary resources to succeed.

How can I further optimize office space?

We recommend implementing Dynamic Spaces, as this approach allows for a more flexible and efficient use of the workspace, ultimately leading to significant productivity improvements. By integrating QR codes for spontaneous check-ins, you can further facilitate flexible desk usage and maximize space utilization while enabling real-time adjustments based on daily occupancy.
