Workplace experience

Transformative hybrid space design

Workplace experience is no longer a plus, it’s a must. Get it right and you gain competitive advantage by attracting, retaining and enabling talent.

Cultivating environments where community and innovation flourish begins with accurate data and next-generation tools, built to handle hybrid change.

  • Reduce spend on low value, underutilized spaces to fund destination workplaces that spark productivity, collaboration and creativity
  • Base architectural design decisions not on perception, but on actual employee behavior
  • Analyze and predict usage patterns from portfolio level, down to team zones and individual rooms, using intelligent suggestions to optimize space designs

Increase purposeful attendance

Create a magnetic destination workplace

A Fortune 100 customer wanted to adopt a data-driven approach to redesigning their spaces for hybrid. With HubStar data, they achieved a new level of clarity that led to redesigning major hubs, increasing the amount of collaborative space. HubStar data also drove lease renewal decisions, including decomissioning an entire building.

Employee wellbeing

Design healthy, sustainable buildings

Healthy building design is an emerging practice that’s all about supporting the physical, psychological and social health and wellbeing of people in the built environment.

Given most people spend a majority of their time indoors, workplace experience design can directly support productivity – by providing the right spaces to the right people at the right time – and indirectly by promoting wellness and a sense of community and belonging.

People do their best work when they feel connected and in control. Beyond providing the data you need to make decisions on the amount and type of space you need to satisfy demand, HubStar empowers workplace leaders to adapt hybrid work policies, influence meaningful attendance and spark intentional togetherness.
