How flexible workspaces help your organisation adapt to changing occupancy levels

💡 Evolving workspaces: Balancing immediate needs with long-term strategy

As organisations embrace a new era of flexible working, many are grappling with the challenge of fluctuating office occupancy. With a minimum of 50% attendance becoming the norm, are you feeling the strain on peak days?

At Catalyst, we believe that getting to know your organisation is paramount to finding the right solutions. Every organisation is unique, and it ultimately comes down to the people who drive its success.

We partner with you to assess whether your current space configuration effectively meets both your immediate attendance patterns and your broader strategic goals.

We pose critical questions to help uncover your needs: Is your current space effectively handling fluctuating attendance levels? How well does it support your team on both peak and quieter days without compromising comfort or productivity?

🎯 Role-based approaches for targeted space planning

A one-size-fits-all solution rarely meets the needs of a dynamic workforce. That’s why Catalyst takes a tailored approach, exploring role-based strategies to optimise space allocation according to the specific requirements of each function within your organisation.

This customised strategy can alleviate congestion on peak days while enhancing overall productivity. For example, could certain roles benefit from designated areas on high-traffic days, or might shared spaces be more effective in supporting your team’s diverse needs?

By focusing on the unique demands of each role, Catalyst ensures your workspace fosters operational efficiency and enhances team engagement.

💭 Alternative solutions for sustainable space management, discover how dynamic flexible zones could transform your office experience

At Catalyst, we advocate for a flexible zone approach, designing areas that adapt to varying team sizes and functions. For instance, collaborative zones can be activated during high-occupancy days for project teams, while quieter zones serve as dedicated spaces for focused work.

This zoning concept empowers teams to utilise the workspace according to immediate needs, effectively balancing activity-based areas with concentrated workspaces.

How might implementing flexible zones with Catalyst’s expertise help your organisation better adapt to changing occupancy levels?

Catalyst offers strategic, personalised consultation to guide you in making the best office decisions, ensuring your space works for your team and your bottom line.

Check out some of Catalyst's recent projects:

Gallagher Insurance Auckland Flagship Office
Gallagher Insurance, formerly known as Crombie Lockwood, were keen to get their Auckland central teams working from one flagship office, having been in two central city locations for many years. This required a complete refit to accommodate both locations and various functional teams together and also presented a perfect opportunity to showcase the planned rebrand to Gallagher.
