When teams move, new employees join, and workspace layouts change at the same time, workplace operations can become difficult to manage. MAC exists to bring structure to that complexity.
For example, a 200-person engineering team may be reorganized into new squads while new hires are starting and part of the office is shifting to shared seating. That is a typical MAC event, and without a coordinated process, it can quickly create operational friction.
MAC stands for Moves, Adds, and Changes. It is the process workplace teams use to manage employee relocations, onboard new occupants into physical spaces, and update workspace configurations as teams, layouts, and business needs change.It helps HR, IT, and facilities stay aligned as the workplace evolves.
Together, these components help keep workplace operations and workplace data accurate.

Why MAC Matters
MAC processes help workplace systems stay aligned. When moves, adds, or changes are not properly tracked, gaps can form between HR, IT, facilities, and space data, leading to inefficiencies.
