Strategic Workplace Planning

• Your business needs to be responsive, your staff agile
• But your property is inherently inflexible

Planning property strategy for tomorrow with visibility only of today, risks overburdening your business with property and costs it doesn’t grow into or restricting growth and forcing further relocations, risks and interruptions to business as usual.

By changing the way organisations think about, and use, their office spaces Plan B enables clients to prepare for an uncertain future. Whether for your existing or proposed premises, whether for reasons of performance, capacity or cost, our strategic workplace planning services provide a range of options for improving, or transforming, your workplace.

Advanced Working Programmes

Your office space is likely to be your organisations' second largest cost base, yet your desk and room utilisation will be similar to most other organisations – averaging around 55%.

Just take a look around you...
How many desks are unoccupied at this particular moment?
How many look like they've been empty all day?
Are you away from the office at the moment, contributing to low occupancy?

Advanced working programmes can be involved with ensuring that your facilities and spaces support the existing levels of staff mobility or they can be focussed on introducing or extending staff flexibility options.

Either way, Plan B has worked with companies to distinguish those staff groups who do or will find flexible working most beneficial and to provide them with the locations, amounts and types of space to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of space and person.


Same Office Size, More Capacity!

At, or near, the headcount capacity of your existing offices?

Then you will be all too familiar with the headaches involved in trying to accommodate one new recruit, or even one staff member transferring between departments.

Whether you want to improve, or need to transform, the staff capacity of your office, Plan B’s range of strategic workplace planning services can protect your organisation from the significant costs, risks and business interruption of office relocation

Combining these services with our innovative solutions for:

• dynamic and automatic workplace occupancy tracking and
• desk allocation tracking

enables your Corporate Real-estate department to genuinely perform pro-active capacity planning and service provision.


Workplace Health Check

• How productive are staff in your office spaces?
• Are staff satisfied with the office environment?
• What do staff like and dislike about their working environment?

• How does the office environment you provide your staff compare with what your competition provides?
• How does the office environment differ between departments and buildings within your own business?

Whether you’re analysing your real-estate for reasons of:
• office costs
• staff productivity
• staff loyalty and satisfaction
• benchmarking yourselves against space standards in your sector
• benchmarking yourselves for a post project comparison
