Ideas, news and practical perspectives on the workplace.
Office space is your organization’s second-biggest cost. And the decisions that shape it are being made right now by senior people working from AI space planning software data they can’t fully trust. The headcount came from HR. But HR doesn’t track who actually shows up. The stack plan took three months. Then a team restructured, […]
For years, room displays have been treated as signage. A screen on a wall. A color indicator. A calendar no one fully trusts. That approach worked when workplaces were simpler. When one office managed one set of rooms. When utilization data didn’t matter. When the gap between what was booked and what was actually used […]
For a long time, visitor management was treated as a front-desk task. A clipboard, a paper log, a quick badge, and you’re done. That approach worked until workplaces scaled. Until offices became distributed. Until compliance tightened. Until front desks became leaner. Until visitor volume became unpredictable. Today, visitor management is a core part of workplace […]
Kadence's Outlook plug-in puts meeting room booking inside Microsoft Outlook, with live two-way sync, consistent utilization data and central IT control.
Managing today’s modern workplace is challenging. Gone are the days of leaders being ok with cubicles and buildings sitting half empty. The stakes are enormous. A single lease can lock millions into wasted space for a decade. Office space is one of the top three controllable costs, yet up to 40% of space sits underutilized […]
Ghost desks, false bookings, and missed check-ins distort reality and drive poor decisions. Employees forget to reserve, visitors arrive unannounced, and contractors or hot desk users slip through the cracks. The result is inflated utilization metrics and misleading occupancy reports that cost enterprises millions in wasted space. Kadence Agent solves this with automatic desk bookings […]
Go beyond static layouts—an Interactive Office Floorplan gives your team real-time visibility, better coordination, and smarter use of space. Hybrid work has reshaped how teams use the office, but most businesses still rely on outdated tools to manage that space. Traditional floorplans were built for a time when everyone had a fixed desk and came […]
Global businesses need a global picture of office attendance. Yet when workplace tools are poorly adopted, disconnected from actual behavior, or too complex to maintain—leaders lose visibility. And without office use visibility, workplace operations become unmanageable. That’s why Wi-Fi based office check-ins are crucial for office visibility. Kadence changes this with Automatic Check-Ins, powered by […]
For workplace and HR leaders, understanding how your office is actually being used—and how your hybrid policies are performing—has never been more important. But in today’s world of fragmented data, one-size-fits-all dashboards, and endless manual reporting, turning occupancy data into actionable strategy with Hybrid work experts is easier said than done. That’s why we’re excited […]
As hybrid work becomes the dominant way forward for organizations worldwide, leaders face a growing challenge: how to make smart, data-driven decisions about their workplaces without costly infrastructure or invasive tracking systems. Even in 2025, many companies are making critical decisions that affect thousands of employees based on limited data or gut instincts. That’s why […]
What would it look like to use your favorite tools in one place without having to switch between applications? A tool where you were able to connect with your team, see when they’re going to be in the office, book desks and rooms, invite guests, and understand how spaces are being used? To make hybrid work […]
