What is dynamic occupancy management?
Dynamic occupancy management is an approach and toolset built for hybrid work. It involves influencing when employees come into the office and where they sit, based on how efficiently your space is being used. Dynamic occupancy management combines next-generation scheduling to optimize purposeful attendance and collaboration, with centralized data management that enables you to adapt floorplans, hybrid seating assignments, neighbourhoods, ratios and more. The outcome is simultaneous improvement in workplace experience and cost savings.
Why is dynamic occupancy management important for hybrid workplaces?
Fluctuating hybrid work schedules can me it difficult to manage space efficiently. Dynamic occupancy management solves this by optimizing office attendance, ensuring the right number of employees are present each day and ensures that office space is used effectively. Dynamic occupancy management helps reduce wasted space and align capacity with demand. This not only enhances productivity, by having the right people in at the right times, but also reduces over and undercrowding; which, in turn, improves workplace experience and reduces energy use, carbon emissions and costs.
How do I manage fluctuating attendance patterns in a hybrid work environment?
Monitoring real-time employee presence and predicting future demand gives workplace leaders the data they need to make informed workplace decisions. For example, changing the ratio of focus space to collaboration space, adjusting office layout or soft-closing areas when employees are less likely to be in the office. These adjustments ensure space is used both efficiently and effectively, saving costs and creating a great workplace experience.
How can dynamic occupancy management help optimize office space for hybrid work?
Dynamic occupancy management uses real-time data to track and predict office attendance, meaning you can allocate space more effectively. It helps ensure that meeting rooms, workstations, and collaborative areas are available when employees are in the office, and aren't being left empty and underutilized when they aren't.
How can dynamic occupancy management improve the employee experience?
Dynamic occupancy management aims for optimal space utilization, by proactively reallocating people and resources. Organisations can reduces overcrowding on high-attendance days and avoid creating "ghost towns" on low-attendance days, making the workplace and engaging and collaborative place.
