WHY IT MATTERS

The business case for desk occupancy.

Badge swipes and reservations do not prove that workstations are actually used. Anonymous occupancy data gives leaders a factual basis for hybrid-work, seating, cleaning, and real-estate decisions.

FROM SIGNAL TO ACTION

How desk occupancy becomes an operational response.

Reports show peak periods, duration, availability, and utilization by zone. Trends can inform seating ratios, reservation policies, consolidation, energy schedules, and where employees prefer to work.

DESK OCCUPANCY FAQ

Questions specific to this solution.

Does desk occupancy track individual employees?

It can be designed to measure anonymous workspace use rather than employee identity. Privacy expectations and access to data should be defined before deployment.

How long should occupancy data be collected before making space decisions?

Enough time should be allowed to capture normal weekly, seasonal, and business-cycle variation. A short snapshot can be misleading.
