With no fixed seats (such as activity-based working or hot-desking) and 80–150 square feet allotted for each employee, high-density workplaces are typically flexible work environments.

Workplaces with an average staff density (150–250 square feet) typically have a standard office design with a mix of individual workstations and private offices.

The typical conference room-to-employee ratio in workplaces with higher densities is 1:10, whereas it is more like 1:20 in offices with dedicated workstations.

(iofficecorp)

Office Type: retrofit and new construction

The market has been divided into two categories: retrofit and new construction. By 2025, the retrofit segment is expected to generate the most revenue. The growing need for energy-saving technologies in retrofitted offices can be attributed to the segment’s growth.

Over the forecast period, the new construction segment is expected to grow significantly. Modifications or new system implementations may be limited in a retrofit office. However, new construction allows for greater flexibility in implementing new systems.

(grandviewresearch)

Average office occupancy

After two years of covid ance and mainly flat leasing, the worldwide office providers interviewed for the MatchOffice Industry Survey 2022 in May express their considerable optimism about the market future generally.

The respondents from North America had the highest expectations; of them, 46.6% think things will turn out well, and 39.1% are excited about the outlook for the office rental market after the pandemic.

Comparatively, the figures for European providers reveal 41.2% and 35.1%, while 32.8% and 31.7%, respectively, are slightly below projections for Asian providers.

In Sweden (72.1% and 17.5%), Germany (65.2% and 21.1%), the Netherlands (77.3% and 10.1%), and Denmark (45.9 and 33.4%), office landlords in Europe are currently quite optimistic about the market.

The pandemic had a severe impact on U.S. commercial real estate (CRE), with vacancy rates skyrocketing in all key sectors, including multifamily, industrial, retail, and office, in the early stages of the health catastrophe.

Rent and price rises were also hampered by deteriorating fundamentals. These pressures, however, were short-lived for the industrial and multifamily sectors, as they saw their vacancy rates reverse course and drop to far lower levels than they were before the epidemic.

On June 22, the commercial vacancy rates are mostly below the pre-pandemic level, except for the office sector.

(economics.td.com)

Office occupancy compared to last year

More than 45% of respondents report their office occupancy is higher than last year (2021). 23.1% of them had the same occupancy in 2021.

( MatchOffice Industry Survey )

U.S Office Vacancy Rate

Due to a significant shift in the labor force toward remote work during the pandemic, office foot traffic was significantly reduced.

Although wealthy tech behemoths expressed interest in prime office spaces, the epidemic significantly curbed most firms’ desire to sign new office contracts. Two years into the pandemic, the office sector’s vacancy rate has moved sideways after peaking at 12% in mid-2021, making little improvement.

(economics.td.com)

Readiness of cutting office space

Firms are currently not planning to cut office space too much.

In the US, the impact of COVID only reduced 1% of office space, while 10% of office space has been diminished in the UK.

Meeting room demands

According to new data from Coworker.com, global meeting room demand within flexible office spaces is up 73% from 2020. 

(Coworker.com)

A survey by Randstad US and Future Workplace found that 80 percent of workers say virtual communication has made them more reactive than strategic in their daily work.

Especially for new employees, pointed out that they need a face-to-face conversation with an experienced in a meeting room to have an immediate solution to their problems.

Conferences Insights

The average number of video conferences 

Most video conferences occur in the marketing and advertising industry, where each worker attends 20.9 sessions on average per month.

Followed by businesses in the travel sector, which hold an average of 11.1 meetings every month. Tech firms, with an average of 10.5 meetings each month, are in third place.

In general, businesses tended to follow the same pattern: a rapid increase following the epidemic, followed by a gradual decline, maybe as they started relying more on asynchronous communication to counteract the tiredness caused by video conferencing.

Companies in the top end of the mid-market segment with 751 to 1,000 employees saw a more consistent downward trend with fewer rises.

In a similar vein, enterprise enterprises with 1,001 to 10,000 employees initially increased before declining in the Fall of 2020 and then peaking once more in March of 2021.

Larger businesses employing more than 10,000 workers experienced a delayed increase, which peaked in May 2021:

(dialpad)

Time spent in video conferences

Video conferencing is used by 46.15% of respondents for less than four hours per week, and by 36.98% for four to twelve hours.

According to this, 83.13% of people attend meetings for no more than 12 hours every week. The 4.73% who spend more than half their week working, on the other hand.

(dialpad)

Number of Meetings vs. Number of Attendees

The information we gathered indicates that gatherings are smaller than you might anticipate.

Meeting rooms were frequently only used by one person in the roughly 6,000 meetings that “Density’s Mid-Year 2019 Workplace Utilization Index” examined during the busiest times of the day.

(Density)

Usage By Meeting Group Size

The report “Density’s Mid-Year 2019 Workplace Utilization Index” exemplifies the significance of monitoring space consumption as a way to enhance meeting room allocation. The research reveals inconsistencies between meeting rooms’ actual usage and their design:

• Meetings with two to four participants made up about 40% of all meetings.
• Only 6% of meetings had more than 10 participants, while 85% of meetings had less than seven attendees.
• Even the largest gatherings rarely occupied more than 45% of the available space.

(Density)

Cost of Meetings

An hour-long discussion with five participants (ranging in rank from specialist to director) costs $338 USD in salaries.
All of those video calls cost money as well. The time lost on useless ones will still cost each employee $1,250 every month.

(booqed)

Methods to Connect

Despite technology’s dominance, physical connection still has value, especially now that face-to-face interactions are limited because of the pandemic. Face-to-face meetings are preferred above alternative formats by 76% of professionals.

They believe that critical decisions are simpler to make. They also concurred that meeting in person improves their comprehension of the recipient party.

• Conferencing is preferred by 7%.
• 5% favor video calls.
• 4% favor email/instant messaging.

Meeting Room Insights

Time wasted when finding rooms

40% of employees say that they waste half an hour per day looking for meeting spaces.

(WSJ)

Meeting room utilization

Although 53% of conference room space is designed for groups of seven or more, 73% of meetings only involve two to four persons.

(WSJ)

Unused Space in Meeting Rooms

Based on the report “Density’s Mid-Year 2019 Workplace Utilization Index“, small rooms (2-4 people) are seldom wasted by people, while over half of the extra large rooms (13+ people) have been wasted.

(Density)

Exceed Capacity and Wasted Space

According to the research in “Density’s Mid-Year 2019 Workplace Utilization Index“, the largest meeting rooms might be cut in half and still accommodate the daily needs of the workforce.

This translates to an annual waste of space costing close to $1.4 million across 100 rooms with 400 square feet each built for 20 people.

An additional $2.8 million may have been saved during the first fit-out.

Over the course of six months, the combined capacity of large and extra-large conference rooms was exceeded 24 times, each time for just over 30 minutes. Or, to put it another way, for a total of 14 hours over the course of six months, these rooms were crowded. These are mainly used for a board meeting or training sessions.

Density suggested that it’s possible that extra-large meeting rooms go unused. However, you truly need them when you need them. Take into account tightening schedules and condensing down to a minimal number of extra-large places.

(Density)

Guidance for sizing spaces

According to the research in “Density’s Mid-Year 2019 Workplace Utilization Index“, despite being intended to accommodate much more people, the data clearly demonstrates that conference rooms were frequently only used by one person. In contrast, meetings with more than 10 participants were rarely held in spaces designed for that many people.

Density has suggested some clear guidance for sizing spaces to achieve higher workplace utilization if you have 10 meeting rooms for people based on the data:

• 3 quiet areas or phone booths for 1 person;
• 4 meeting rooms for 2 to 4 people;
• 1 meeting room for 5 to 6 people; and
• 2 flexible 20-person rooms that can be converted into 2 rooms for up to 10 people each.

Opportunity in evolving cloud-based environment of IoT platforms

IoT is a technology that stores, manages, and analyzes data in real time. Cloud platforms provide a cost-effective and easily deployable alternative to building on-premises data centers.

While IoT is all about connected devices that generate a large amount of data, cloud platforms allow analytics to extract value from that data. Cloud computing technologies enable smart office solution providers to connect workplace management systems installed in the control center to IoT-enabled devices. This capability will enable end users to quickly and affordably build an IoT-based sense and response system.

The cloud platform is a secure platform for the storage and computation of large amounts of data. Furthermore, the cloud can provide a unified platform for managing the service life cycle and organizing deployment.

The emergence of IoT Platform as a Service (PaaS) has increased the deployment opportunities for IoT solutions across the workplace infrastructure.

The cloud platform can aid in the deployment of various applications that offer workplace management authorities new methods of connecting traditional information systems to IoT-enabled devices.

Definition

Space occupancy

occupied square footage/total workspace square footage = space occupancy rate

Simply divide the occupied floor space by the total floor space to determine the space occupancy rate (this means excluding restrooms, pantries, and other non-workable areas, but includes meeting rooms).

Space utilization

occupancy/ capacity = space utilization rate

Space utilization is your building’s occupancy divided by its capacity. It is seen by how frequently workers use a specific area.

Utilization can be both a static and a dynamic metric. For instance, you may assess how well a room is being used right now or over the course of a few days, weeks, months, or even hours.

LinkedIn suggests the first step is to improve boring meeting rooms. So, LinkedIn’s new flagship building in Mountain View, Calif. meeting rooms feature comfortable furniture and cutting-edge technology, and it was created by the architectural firm NBBJ, to make their office more flexible. 

What you should know

• The first requirement to improve the meeting room atmosphere is to meet the needs of your staff;
• Flexibility is very important for newly designed meeting rooms;

New design for LinkedIn’s meeting rooms  

LinkedIn believes that bringing flexibility into the meeting space will make people’s work more enjoyable. If they are happier at work, the boring atmosphere would naturally go away. Therefore, compared with traditional meeting rooms, the newly designed meeting rooms with a greater focus on employees’ needs and well-being. 

The new conference rooms feature movable partitions to expand or reduce meeting space at any time and provide additional sterilization equipment to protect the health of employees.  

LinkedIn added open conference spaces amid the desks of engineers on the same teams. If they want to have a discussion with others, workers can pop into one of these spaces and close the sliding doors — or leave them open. Also, providing some soundproof equipment in these areas ensures workers can focus on work.  

Some conference room management systems can provide a very flexible free room combination function. Colleagues can change the size and equipment of the conference room according to the needs of the meeting, so as to add more vitality to the work.

“The intention is for it (newly designed meeting room) to be hyperflexible…Acoustical baffling on the ceiling dampens sound, and its zigzag shape adds more dynamism to the room, enlivening what is normally a flat, static plane,” said Robert Norwood, a principal at NBBJ. 

Relax atmosphere encourages employees to speak more 

LinkedIn uses a modernist oak table from Anthropologie to replace a central table in conference spaces that look more like lounges.  Also, each has a squishy sofa with throw pillows, and plants and books abound.  

“The relaxed look is intended to help meeting participants feel comfortable and encourage members of the staff “who might not speak up in a traditional setting,” Lisa Britz, LinkedIn’s director of workplace design said. 

Virtual meeting tools add interest to meetings 

Adding virtual tools to the meeting room can connect remote workers to work together with office-fully workers and provide more energy in meetings. There have some large horizontal screens in meeting rooms on LinkedIn, allowing for sharing documents on one side and showing the faces of remote colleagues on the other.  

Additionally, some companies’ conference rooms are also equipped with a digital whiteboard and a special camera mounted on an opposite wall that “ghosts out” the person writing so colleagues working at home can see what’s being written in real-time. It makes the meetings or presentations look funnier. 

The real estate services firm, CBRE has conducted a survey of companies occupying office space recently. It found that 76 percent of respondents considered enhanced videoconferencing one of the top priorities in their return to the office. 

Need an office management system to control flexible equipment 

As mentioned above, providing flexible working equipment in the meeting room can improve the condition of work in the meeting. However, you need to be aware that to manage these devices you need a well-developed office management system.  

A well-developed office management system allows you to reserve the required meeting room and ensure that your meeting is not disturbed while it is in progress.

As we learn to negotiate the current economy’s additional challenges, leaders must remain sympathetic and rely on proper technology in the right setting to allow open communication with their staff, and meeting spaces are no exception.

Activity-based working is about…

Activity-based working is a recent popular working model that gives your workers a variety of venues for a number of activities. Individuals can select their favorite location for the day’s activities, such as a hot desk, conference room, quiet car, huddle room, or brainstorm room.

For example, LEGO Group’s “Activity-based working” strategy for hybrid working has been recognized as a model for other businesses to imitate.

The strategy taken by the LEGO Group differs in that it appears to take into account the types of work that its workers are performing and provides them with the optimum setting for completing specific roles or tasks.

Each neighborhood has a variety of areas for “activity-based working” ranging from workstations and personal “phone booths” for each employee to various sizes of larger rooms to allow both large and small gatherings.

So how do you know if you have the right tools in the right places for your employees?

In the following sections, we have listed out some of the most common working environments and provided a thorough list of the technologies you need to make that area function for your business.

Meeting room

Meeting rooms are the most common part for most of the offices with the highest usage.

However, these rooms should differ in design depending on different purposes and people who used them: from a place that allows employees to hold informal catch-up meetings, to a venue that is installed with high technology to impress your guests.

Nowadays, meeting rooms normally should provide office facilities such as room booking panels, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and IoT devices for daily use with a meeting room booking system and video conferencing software.

Occupancy sensors can help you determine your real estate needs, eliminate misusage due to no-shows, and identify a better management solution for managing the layout available for meetings.

Boardroom

A board room is a room that is designated for a group of individuals, usually those elected by shareholders to administer a corporation, to have meetings. This is a place where the company’s most important concerns are discussed and decisions are made.

Apart from the facilities that mentioned above for a normal meeting room, boardrooms should have a large enough table and enough seats to accommodate everyone in attendance, as well as be situated in a private area.

Ensure your boardrooms are equipped with a meeting room booking system that allows secretaries to reserve the board room for their bosses in everywhere, and reserve tea service, catering, and car parking facilities for different guests. Also, a virtual board meetings service is now a must for cross-location board meetings.

We also recommend that a 3D floor plan is helpful for guest to easily find their way to the correct location on the floor display.

Quiet car/ Huddle room

Quiet car and huddle room are both office places for individual ad-hoc usage.

A quiet car is for employees who need to tune out and focus on their job without being distracted by a crowded workplace environment, while a huddle room is for individuals who may meet quickly and effortlessly.

Having a hot desk booking system with mobile capability makes these areas more accessible, and having check-in with various methods such as RFID card capability makes them more readily available, forming a relaxed place that your informal use.

You should also provide Wi-Fi, charging stations for mobile devices, a simple lighting device, and easily accessible power output ports.

Brainstorm room/Collaboration space

A brainstorming room encourages collaboration and innovation and is also known as a project room or battle room. Sofas, cushions, and armchairs are frequently used to help staff feel more relaxed.

Residents are typically equipped with more informal furniture to make them at ease. It is mainly used for both big projects and smaller sprints that require additional board space or other office resources. Whiteboards for taking notes, and also whiteboard markers with enough ink are no doubt a must.

Using a desk booking system with mobile functionality allows your employees to book on the fly, which is critical for a location that is unlikely to be filled weeks in advance.

And again, make sure you have provided high-functioning Wi-Fi, charging stations for mobile devices, and a power outlet for supporting your staff in having enough power!

The post What do you need for your meeting room? first appeared on ONEs Blog.

Smart office has become the workspace that can allows your workers and guests to conduct meetings in a seamless manner is crucial to meeting productivity and employee morale.

The finest meeting room booking system makes the booking process effective, intuitive, centralized, time-saving, and cost-effective. It should be a scalable solution that lowers administrative labor, optimizes workspace utilization, and integrates intelligent meeting room booking procedures into your business.

What is a meeting room booking system for now?

Meeting Room Booking System is a software that includes capabilities for managing, optimizing, and streamlining the meeting room booking process. 

It can also offers functionality for bookings of meeting room with office equipment and services, such as a intuitive booking calendar to find and reserve the suitable room based on your needs. It can allow user to perform booking cancellation, extension and swap management. 

Meeting room booking system also commonly integrates with visitor management module to manage the invitation of the bookings, which can provide a streamlined smart office experience for your users. It also come with the support of room display and floor display that provide clear overview and concise control of room booking in your office.

Advantage of adopting a room booking system

There are several advantages to using a meeting room booking system straight now. Following are some of the most important benefits of using a booking system to handle your workspaces:

1. Automatic elimination of overlapping conflicts and double-booking

A good room booking system will detect and restrict customers from reserving rooms that are currently in use. This proactive detection and avoidance strategy avoids the bulk of the office productivity-related problem of needing to find an empty workspace.

2. Delegation of user responsibility

Self-service gives user the ability to control their meetings when using a room booking system. Room scheduling and reservations are no longer manually handled by the receptionist. When the task of room reservation is delegated to the staff, coordination among the staff can result in the people working together to take over empty meeting rooms.

3. Centralized service coordination

Along with the room reservation, a meeting room booking system allows users to request services such as man-power for space setup, tea service, and resources such as A/V, conferencing units etc. This provides a centralized interface for tracking all meeting-related activity. 

Changes of meeting times and location are easily communicated to the various parties involved, avoiding the need to inform separate parties through email for each booking change. This can save significant time and enforce confidence for meeting requestors, while also making life easier for the resources and catering staff.

4. Better use of office resource

This is the most significant advantage of all. When you have office space, you want to make sure that it is being used to its full potential. If a thorough strategy is in place, the rooms may be used in a more organized manner. Room booking systems tend to improve room use by organized reservation process and strict booking usage. As a result, office space may be utilized more effectively.

Key features for a good room booking system

There are several key features that a good meeting room booking system should have:

1. Ensure meetings will not be interrupted by preventing anyone from knocking on the meeting room’s door to inquire about its availability.
2. Ensure frictionless meetings without double-booking and overlapping issues
3. Achieve transparency in meeting room usage by making the process participatory.
4. Integrations with office software and business communication platform such as Office 365, Outlook, Microsoft Exchange Microsoft Teams for increased productivity
5. Support different levels of customization on the meeting room such as room type, capacity, amenity, location, business hours, quota, booking rules and approval
6. Support delicate authentication control such as user permission level, user right assignment and user group setting to favor administrator control
7. Prevention of unauthorized access with access controls
8. Management of visitors, including visual navigation to the conference room, notification for visitor arrival
9. Obtaining information for data analytics regarding meeting room usage, peak hours, user no-show rate etc.
10. Enforce resource usage optimization such as auto free up unused meetings, quota mechanism
11. Support Multi-Language and Multi-Platform
