The situation
Before Kadence
Policy required staff in the office 20% of the time, and many were not meeting it. Desk uncertainty and manual coordination made in-office days harder than they needed to be, on more floor space than the college needed.
What changed
With Kadence
- Desk booking and team coordination that removed desk uncertainty, so staff chose to come in more often; 100% of employees were booking desks within two weeks, with SSO.
- Two office floors consolidated into one on the strength of measured use.
- Automated desk release and AI-assisted booking that freed more than 6 hours a week, 300+ hours a year.
- AI-powered coordination that lifted cross-team collaboration by half.
“Kadence has become second nature, like getting a coffee. It’s woven into how we work.”
