Train as a Workplace Strategist

Do you want to develop your expertise in workplace strategy, workplace analysis and the future of work? WeOffice offers courses for professionals who want to understand, analyse and develop offices and ways of working based on organisational needs, employee experience and long-term business goals.

As a workplace strategist, you help organisations create evidence-based decision-making processes for how workplaces, offices and ways of working should be designed. This may include workplace analysis, activity-based working, hybrid offices, office change management, workplace concepts, office work environment and follow-up after implementation.

For professionals who want to work more strategically with offices and ways of working

The course is designed for professionals who work with, or want to work with, questions related to office design, workplace strategy, work environment, change management, facility management, HR, real estate, architecture, interior design or organisational development. It is also relevant for those already working as workplace strategists who want to deepen their knowledge with a clearer methodology, stronger analytical support and a more structured approach.

Through our courses, you will learn how a workplace strategy can be developed from start to finish: from mapping and data collection to analysis, concept development, implementation and follow-up. The aim is to help you contribute to better decisions about offices, ways of working and the work environment.

What you will learn

During the course, you will deepen your understanding of current research, proven methods and practical tools for workplace development. You will learn how to analyse organisational needs, understand different work patterns and translate insights into a workplace strategy that supports both people and business performance.

• Workplace analysis: how to collect, interpret and use data about offices, ways of working and employee needs.
• Workplace strategy: how to define direction, principles and decision-making support for the future workplace.
• Office development: how different workplace solutions, such as activity-based working and hybrid offices, can be designed based on organisational requirements.
• Office change management: how to create alignment, involvement and implementation power during workplace change.
• Follow-up: how to measure, evaluate and continue developing the workplace after implementation.

Methods, tools and Workplace Adequacy™

The course is based on WeOffice’s experience in workplace strategy, research on offices and ways of working, and the Workplace Adequacy™ framework. You will be introduced to methods and tools that help you understand how well a workplace supports an organisation’s activities, collaboration, focus work, learning, social needs and work environment.

By combining research, data and practical methodology, the course gives you a structure for working more professionally with workplace strategy. This makes it relevant whether you work in a large organisation, the public sector, a real estate company, an architecture practice, an interior design agency or as a consultant within workplace development.
