“When we asked leadership how often teams come in, 75% said two to three days, in reality, utilization was 19%. That’s not even a day a week.”

Hybrid work isn’t failing, we’re just measuring and designing for it badly.
In this episode of Workplace Visionaries, Jane Young speaks with Tanisha Krishnan, an architect-turned-workplace strategist known for clear, practical thinking.
They unpack why leaders consistently overestimate office attendance, why “best practice” is often a trap, and how workplace teams can use real data (utilization, work profiles, and employee needs) to make better decisions.
From co-designing spaces with employees to running low-risk pilots and aligning HR, tech and real estate stakeholders, this conversation is packed with actionable takeaways for anyone navigating the complexity of hybrid, planning future office investment, or trying to turn workplace strategy into a culture of evidence-backed experimentation.
