During a recent study conducted among 1500 employees around the world by BCG, 85% said their organization had adopted a hybrid way of working.
At the same time, the Office attendance is now 30% lower than in the pre-covid era (McKinsey study).
Since real estate is the second largest item of expenditure for organizations, the loss of earnings is monumental. Not to mention the associated electricity bill, energy waste, and lost corporate restaurant meals.
What if you could manage your spaces and your hybrid work environment, and adapt them in advance to the real presence of your teams?
Today, we are announcing our most important breakthrough since the creation of m-work: Optimize. A way to finally manage your work environment thanks to your data, and to the AI.
Everything you need to do is just a click away. No more empty offices and waste.
Understanding the challenge we are facing
As COP28 comes to an end today, the climate emergency is more present than ever in everyone's minds. Added to this is the precarious economic context in which businesses now operate.
It is no longer a question of wasting business resources, and offices occupy an important place there.
Energy, economic and even food wastage are the lot of many organizations today.
However, flexibility is more than ever a strength for those who take advantage of it. Saving time for employees, work-life balance, productivity, cost reduction, etc.
Time savings for employees
Flexible work, in particular teleworking, represents a significant time-saving potential for employees. According to a study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research, remote employees earn around 1 hour and 12 minutes per day. This saving is mainly related to travel time.
This time saving is beneficial not only for them, but also for their employer. In France, on average, employees devote 44% of this time to professional activity. And it is also a guarantee of better balance between professional and personal life.
Work-life balance
Employees who have the opportunity to work from home also trust greater autonomy in their organization. This satisfaction contributes to improving the attractiveness of businesses, and to reducing turnover.
This differentiation represents a major competitive advantage for human resources, in the short and long term.
In fact, 80% of the working population declares that teleworking contributes to a better work/life balance (SD Worx study). This proportion reflects the perceived value of a flexible organization by employees.
Workspace flexibility
Who says adjustment of working methods, says adaptation of associated spaces. Indeed, with an average of two days of weekly teleworking in the agreements, offices must adapt.
The big difficulty lies in the customizing the telework policy. Indeed, not all employees choose the same days, do not have the same regime, etc.
Moreover, coming to the office is linked to several components. Team life, travel time, travel peaks, etc. are factors that can explain attendance.
One thing is certain is that when an office is half empty, it is imperative to optimize it. This may involve the more or less durable closure of certain spaces, the reduction of heating on one floor, etc.
Moreover, the attendance data can allow the reduction of meal orders on days when there is less presence.
Our answer: m-work optimize
m-work optimize uses predictive and real-time analytics to provide an accurate picture of workspace usage. Historical, present and above all Future.
Employees are alerted in order to adjust their schedule if necessary, while continuing to simply meet their colleagues.
