The world of work and the workplace is continuously evolving, especially over the last few years. This has led occupiers and their advisors to reconsider the future use, design and space planning of their offices. The BCO therefore commissioned research that will offer advice to BCO members on how to determine their appropriate office density in the near future.
Description
With real estate portfolio footprints for many organisations expected to reduce as a consequence of the global pandemic, organisations are adopting agile/hybrid working models such that most employees will not have assigned desks in those offices. Furthermore, there is a strong trend towards offices being designed for increased “connection” which affects the traditional space distribution between desk areas and alternative work-settings.
Overall, the findings of our research suggest that, rather than a single density figure, guidance on key factors that impact on space and density is required to enable organisations to determine their own relevant density. That said, our study also shows that there is a desire by those consulted to have a ballpark (“rule of thumb”) density figure as a starting point, which can then be adjusted for factors such as the organisation’s activities, demand for non-desk spaces and staff amenities.
Join us for the launch of the report on 13 September to hear in more detail the key findings and recommendations.
