Maximising workplace effectiveness
A leading blue-chip technology client realised significant desk space savings using the Living Office™ solution helping them to avoid new investment to accommodate growth.
Initial Facilities understands that real estate is usually the second largest cost of operation – just behind people costs. However, effective use of space throughout the workplace is often suboptimal with the average office building only operating at 60% capacity. Understanding occupiers needs and leveraging the space effectively will have a positive effect on the bottom line. A reduction of 100 workspaces would deliver circa £1m per annum savings.
We recognise that more importantly, the right office design can significantly boost collaboration and productivity.
Our solution, The Living Office™ enables us to deploy a system of measurement, analysis, redesign and change management to maximise workplace effectiveness. We believe The Living Office™ presents a compelling case to consider change that addresses questions such as:
We provide customers with access to irrefutable data through a customer web portal that enables them to see exactly how their building is operating and identifies unlocked potential. Using a data-driven methodology, we then help our customers to visualise, develop and agree the vision, define objectives and explore concepts around a possible future.
Our partners include experts in Interior Design that specialises in interior landscaping. We also use feedback systems such as our helpdesk to monitor the delivery of anticipated benefits.
Throughout the process, our site and FM managers act as our liaison giving the operational continuity that is critical to any transition program. We remain present to see the benefits delivered as part of our on-going services delivered on site.
Please do get in touch – we are always happy to talk about your facilities needs and how we can help.
We provide fully integrated Total Facilities Management to government and commercial sector organisations.
