The UK is at the forefront of this trend, boasting a staggering 54% utilization rate. APAC and North America follow suit, with rates of 31% and 28% respectively. 🇬🇧🌏🇺🇸

Midweek remains king, with Tuesday to Thursday utilization at 41%. Interestingly, Mondays and Fridays saw significant jumps, with 60% and 56% increases. 📅

🚀 Still clinging to the old office norms? 🚀


Modern work constantly changes, and businesses that don't adjust risk being left behind. The latest IBA Study 2023/24 reveals some interesting insights into the current state of office work in Germany:

📊 Key points:

- Flexible work: 54% of employees now work more flexibly in terms of location and hours than before the pandemic.
- Hybrid work: 64% of employees engage in hybrid work, with the office remaining the primary workspace, followed by home offices and coworking spaces.
- Yet, despite these advancements, the report highlights a crucial lag in collaborative and innovative work methods. Only 16% of respondents reported an increase in interactive and co-creative work practices. In comparison, 22% spent more time on focused individual tasks.
- Office environment: Most employees still work in traditional office settings, with 53% working in single—or dual-person offices. While 83% have access to meeting rooms, only 46% have suitable spaces for informal and creative exchanges.

What does it mean for your business? 🤔

Embracing hybrid work models is no longer an "if" but more like a "how." 

How can you guarantee your team stays productive while being flexible? The answer is clear: setting up a transparent and well-structured hybrid work model and investing in collaborative strategies will help you succeed and ensure a productive office. The two elements go hand-in-hand.

The key is to consider both organizational and individual perspectives on productivity. As Professor Lynda Gratton recently said, "The concept of productivity is a "movie" rather than a "snapshot": organizations should take a long-term, dynamic view of productivity, considering the entire employee journey and not just short-term outputs."

How do you handle hybrid work policies?

HCLTech's recent hybrid work policy links office attendance directly to employee leaves, causing an uproar. Meanwhile, other companies like TCS tie attendance to variable pay, sparking further debate.

Many companies have attempted to create successful hybrid work policies but have not always had great results. 

Why is that? 
First of all, employees are left out of the decision-making process. 
There is a lack of communication from the stakeholders, lots of confusion with the do's and don'ts, and the sensation of being in an Orwellian environment makes them nervous, to say the least. 😓 

So - are these policies a step towards increased productivity or a recipe for resentment and attrition?

The answer is simple: when appropriately structured and implemented, hybrid work policies should offer clarity, prevent misinterpretation, increase trust in the company's leadership team, and avoid biased behaviors. They do not punish employees. Instead, they offer guidance and help manage flexibility easily. 💡

Freitage laden zum Homeoffice ein 🏡🌐💻 

In den deutschen Städten liegt die durchschnittliche Auslastung der Büros am Freitag bei knapp 46 %. Auch der Montag wird öfter für Remote-Arbeit genutzt, hier liegt der Wert laut Statistik des Schweizer Unternehmens deskbird bei 59%. Der beliebteste Bürotag hingegen ist der Mittwoch mit einer Auslastung von 68%, dicht gefolgt von Dienstag (67%) und Donnerstag (66,5%). 

Was bedeuten diese Zahlen für die Gestaltung moderner Arbeitsumgebungen?

▶ Flexibilität ist der Schlüssel: 
Die Arbeitswelt verändert sich rasant. Mitarbeitende schätzen die Freiheit, flexibel zu arbeiten und ihre Arbeitszeit an ihre persönlichen Bedürfnisse anzupassen. Moderne Offices und flexible Arbeitsplätze sind daher unverzichtbar, um die Attraktivität des Unternehmens zu steigern und Talente anzuziehen.

▶ Effiziente Raumnutzung: 
Mit schwankenden Auslastungen in der Woche müssen Büros so gestaltet sein, dass sie effizient genutzt werden können. Clevere Zonierungen ermöglichen es, die vorhandene Fläche optimal zu nutzen und auf wechselnde Anforderungen zu reagieren.

▶Motivation und Zufriedenheit: 
Ein modernes Office ist nicht nur funktional, sondern fördert durch sein Design auch die Zufriedenheit und Motivation der Mitarbeitenden. Angenehme Arbeitsumgebungen fördern die Produktivität und das Wohlbefinden, was letztlich dem Unternehmen zugutekommt.

Wie sieht es bei dir aus? An welchen Tagen gehst du am liebsten ins Büro? 📅 🏢
