Density’s Post

In the new world of work, are tech companies still on the cutting edge of workplace design? Join us for an insightful webinar on Wednesday, July 24th at 11am PT, to hear how industry leaders are rethinking office spaces. The ⭐ all-star panel will feature José Vicente Latorre from Netflix, Phil Kirschner from McKinsey & Company, Daniel Davis from Hassell, and Annie Cosgrove from Density. We'll dive into the findings from 1.4 million sq ft of tech offices, revealing actionable insights like: ✅ Why the hybrid battleground is between a 2-day vs 3-day office policy ✅ Data-driven strategies for optimizing "me" vs "we" spaces ✅ How to approach change management beyond conventional approaches Don't miss this opportunity to learn how industry leaders are reimagining the future of work. #FutureOfWork #WorkplaceInnovation Register here: https://hubs.la/Q02FXkbP0

Let's talk RTO policies. You'd think enforcing a 3-day in-office hybrid policy would significantly boost workplace utilization versus giving employees full flexibility. But the data shows only a 17% increase in peak utilization, from 29% to 46%. This suggests RTO mandates aren't being consistently followed or may be impacting workplace presence less than expected.

Of course employees choose meeting rooms primarily to enable their collaborative work. But let's face it - when you have multiple options, the little perks can sway your decision. ⚖

Flexible policies may foster in-office face time. Density and Hassell found that employees who get to choose their working location spend 48% of their in-office time in meeting rooms, roughly double the time that employees with 2 days a week (23%) and 3 days a week (29%) hybrid policies spend. Policies influence more than just how much time people spend in an office—they also influence the activities they do there. Ideally, workplace policies and design should be in harmony. However, as this study showed, and as Density has seen across its network, workplaces are still struggling to catch up to the wholesale reimagining of where and how work gets done.

When it comes to planning office space, desk sharing ratios are the magic number, right? 🚫 Wrong. In the new world of hybrid work, there’s a new secret sauce of smart occupancy planning. Spoiler alert: It's NOT about cramming more people into less space. It's about creating a workspace that's: ✔️ Efficient ✔️ Collaborative ✔️ Actually used (gasp!)

Once known for their innovative offices, tech workplaces are still catching up to new work patterns. In fact, Density and Hassell found that even on peak days 66% of office space is going unused, wasting up to $40M per year on underused space.
