Don’t be caught off guard, and reduce real-estate costs where you can with space management tools for hybrid working. The ecosystem of office work has changed. The shift from static destinations to a blend of in-person and remote work chimed in with a whopping 78% of people in favor of this new way of working. Those who took part in this survey said it gave them a better work-life balance, they completed work faster with fewer distractions, and they experienced an overall improvement in their well-being.

All that to say, hybrid working is here to stay. This means it’s time to focus on optimizing your real-estate costs, and team productivity whilst growing and reducing the cost of underutilized space. 

In fact, with Kadence’s new Interactive Office Floorplan, you get to visualize the occupancy, and availability of your entire space across time. Whether you want to view past booking behavior to spot trends to help with future decisions or check out where your teammates are going to be working in the future so you can book a space nearby, Kadence enables you to master your spaces, reduce costs, and generate growth all in one tool. 

Here’s how:

Plan your commute in advance

As a busy professional, time is your most valuable asset. From planning projects to setting up team meetings, knowing team, and space availability well in advance is crucial to staying on top of your game plan.

That’s why our new Interactive Office floor is so exciting. With one glance, you can visualize what spaces are available throughout the day in real-time and in the future, making planning easy.

Quick book by the minute

When you’re busy, being able to book the exact space you need for the exact moment you need it couldn’t be more useful. Once you’ve found a space you want to book, whether it’s a room for a meeting, or a desk near a go-to colleague, simply click on an available or partially available desk, and book it right there on the spot for the exact times you need.

Work where it’s right

Sometimes, if you work remotely from home, it’s good to work in a different environment with different surroundings. It’s part of being as productive as possible for the task at hand and is great for your well-being too. 

It’s one of the reasons why our new Interactive Office Floorplan is so useful. At any point where you feel like a change of scenery, or you want to be in your office space atmosphere on the off-chance you spontaneously bump into a colleague, just check out the Interactive Office Floorplan and claim the space of your choice.

Connect with the right people

The beauty of seeing where your teammates are sitting in the future is that it makes a world of difference when it comes to planning. 

Whether you’re looking to meet up with your friends and make your commute to the office worthwhile, or if you want to see how busy the office looks the following week, visualizing it all in one place is fast, and convenient. 

With one quick look, you get to see what spaces are free, and who’s around that day helping you make the most of your time, and everyone else’s.

Know what to expect in the future

If companies are striving to do more with their spaces by optimizing every square inch to cut costs, then being able to accurately predict how busy your office is going to be in the future makes sense.

Now with our Interactive Office Floorplan, you’re able to identify days or areas of the office that are in high demand. This means you can easily spot areas of the office that are underutilized allowing you to make changes or reduce any unnecessary costs.

Understand past booking trends

Knowing how your people use your space in the past makes space planning for the future a lot simpler. So being able to identify patterns, and trends in booking habits helps you to understand which spaces could do with being repurposed or even reallocated to areas of the office that are in higher demand. 

As well as cutting costs you could also think about generating revenue. By analyzing past booking trends you can determine which spaces are used the least, and offer those spaces to other companies or rent out conference rooms during quieter periods.

Boost team performance

Great team dynamics help individuals, and companies flourish. It makes them productive with their time, and in their work, producing fruitful outcomes, and a decent return on all of your investments. 

With Kadence, the power is in your hands to manage your spaces and your teams in a way that works for everybody. 

Creating office neighborhoods is a great way to segment portions of your office to truly meet the needs of your teams giving them the flexibility to book any available space within that area, as well as the value of being amongst their teammates for greater collaboration.

Assign permanent desks

Whilst flexible desk booking is a fantastic way to boost individual and team productivity, having a more regular, and consistent desk to work from is also a need many companies, and employees have. 

In taking team neighborhoods to a granular level we make it possible for you to assign permanent desks to your people on any day of the week. 

Not only does this give you an extra layer of visibility, and knowing exactly who is working in your office but it helps individuals form closer connections with the people they sit by on a regular basis.

Release desk bookings back when no one shows up

Your space is one of your company’s biggest assets so letting unused space go to waste when people cancel or don’t show up to their booking is simply money down the drain.

With that in mind, users can set to release bookings back into the system to be rebooked by someone else after a certain period of time has elapsed.

Helping you to maximize the use of your spaces, not letting anything go to waste, boosting team productivity, and reducing real-estate costs all at once.

Conclusion

Optimizing your spaces is a wise step in the right direction. It all starts with a tool that handles everything from smart people scheduling to smart space management with the sole purpose of helping your people, and your company succeed and flourish. 

That’s why our new Interactive Office Floorplan is so powerful. It considers the goals, and interests of both you, as well as your employees allowing you to manage your space, as well as enable your teams to be productive by connecting with the right people, at the right times, and in the right spaces.
