What does booking utilization look like for companies centered around real estate? For teams in the corporate real estate industry on inspace we see a lot of bookings of desks since these teams have primarily moved to shared desking, and utilization of those same desks for taking calls. Once meetings move in person or become confidential we see more booking of phone booths, meeting rooms, and even lounges. The ways teams use inspace is often defined by the way their team norms are set up already. A cultural norm of taking virtual meetings at your desk will drive up desk use in the data. Does your team take calls from your desks or do you take every call from an enclosed space? #hybridwork #hybridworking #workplace *Information is based on aggregate information of bookings by space type in platform.

What's the big deal about Conference Rooms? We hear time and time again how convenient it is for our clients to have a variety of conference rooms to be able to use during client meetings, zoom calls, team meetings, new client briefs, late night strategy sesssions and more. It can be your first impression during recruiting new team members, the way to impress a large client with a large team needing a big space to host, a win when you zoom into an important conference and don't have to have a fake background because yours is better than the stock images. Conference rooms can make a BIG difference in small business. Come check out all our common areas that truly showcase the Office Centers difference! #theofficecenters #officesforlease #officespace #greenvillesc #mauldinsc #upstatebusiness #locallyowned #locallyoperated #officesforlease #virtualoffices

Apologies in advance to all the Dans on here 😅 No one wants to commute for an hour each morning just to be on Zoom for the next 8 (or have to listen to colleagues doing the same when you’re trying to concentrate). Try and be strict about doing the majority of your meetings in-person during office days, and if you’re a global or multi-site business and find calls in some way, shape or form are inevitable, slip off to a private booth or break-out area so you can let the rest of the team focus if they’re not involved. #Kontor #HybridWorkingFails #WFH #HybridWorking #Office 

Do all companies book spaces the same way?  No. Do all companies plan their spaces the same way?  No. One of the things about making a flexible product is that teams will use it to book space the way they want to.  There is no one size fits all when it comes to space design and so our platform has to be flexible for how teams are operating in hybrid. When we look at data across customers and industries we can see that the teams on inspace operate very differently despite having alot of the same space types in their office. Booking activity needs context as well to tell the full story. Looking at a traditional industry like CRE and seeing a lot of desk use wouldn't make much sense unless you knew the companies included have shared desk policies and that they also have cultures that take virtual calls from the desk.  As hybrid work continues to take hold across the US I think we'll notice more differences in ways of working and I'm excited that our platform can be flexible enough to accommodate them all. --------- I'm Omar from inspace .  I share daily insights, information, and sometimes humorous musings about the workplace. #hybridwork #hybridworking #workplace #futureforward #employeeexperience
