The need for new workplace STRATEGY grows as workforce change accelerates. Support space planning decisions with utilization data that shows “how many people doing which activities in what type of spaces.”
“Workstyles” analysis starts with knowing statistically and specifically where employees get work done: at their desk, in meetings, or somewhere else.
SEE SPACE PLANNING THROUGH THEIR EYES
This unique survey leverages the power and ease of texts and selfies. Participants answer questions with a photo and a note to share their experience of place. The result, a searchable collection of visual answers, illustrates for decision makers what the occupants see and feel about their physical environment. It tells the subjective story that complements objective data (e.g. from utilization studies) and invites any group of stakeholders into the change process.
Utilization Studies with Activity Analysis
Facility Quest is a platform for running various types of workplace assessments. Global architecture firms use Facility Quest to perform hundreds of space utilization projects for their clients, gathering, analyzing, and communicating occupancy and usage patterns as part of workplace strategy projects.
Other assessments include photo-based surveys for occupant engagement and feedback, image mapping of facilities spaces, fixtures, and furniture, and badge-swipe data analysis.
Engaging with clients to research their workplace utilization is a smart first step that builds trust and confidence and creates a foundation for confident space planning/programming.
Make It Visual with Pictures no Plans
Walk around with any Internet-connected device and document the workplace with photos; no photo management needed. Touch a blue dot, snap the shot, and you're done. Gather photos on brief site visits to remember important environmental details. Ask someone to log in and grab photos for you at a remote site. Or do a full photo inventory of space periodically to capture "that was then; this is now" validation.
What To Accept From Facility Quest
Walk around a few times to take data for quick feedback, or set up a full study to statistically represent true utilization. The friendly interface shows dots on a floor plan changing color as data is collected. Detect utilization patterns with heat maps on floor plans that show occupancy by an hour of the day.
Easily browse the data for insights, for specific departments, space types, or activities, with customizable dashboard analytics. On the go, grab one or many photos per space: close-ups of identifying details, and pull back to see the environment. Upload photos from any source.
Touch a blue dot and check the photos tab to revisit the photos. Show all photos as thumbnails, and then click through on any photo to its data panel. Upload any number of floor plans, then annotate and markup as needed.
Drag space markers--blue dots--onto the plans. Touch a blue dot and describe with attributes, notes, tags, and more. Connect to IoT data (we can help).
