Strategy and choices
For organisations that need to clarify objectives, workplace strategy, premises strategy and the decisions that should be made before a solution is chosen.
WeOffice Knowledge Hub
Find the right knowledge before making decisions about offices and ways of working.
We bring together guides, articles and resources for organisations that want better decisions about workplace strategy, workplace analysis, hybrid working, office sizing and office development.
Start with the question you need to answer: strategy, analysis, right-sizing, implementation or follow-up.
The knowledge hub is designed to help you move from broad questions about the future of the office to concrete decisions about needs, space, functions, ways of working, premises and change.
Find the right starting point
Choose the area based on the decision you need to make.
Different questions require different evidence. The knowledge hub is therefore organised around the decisions that often arise before, during and after an office project.
Useful when you need to understand concepts, compare options, prepare a project or create better decision support before the next step.
Evidence
Analysis and office sizing
For organisations that need to understand needs, attendance data, occupancy, space, capacity, variation and the settings the business actually requires.
Ways of working
Hybrid working and everyday use
For organisations that want to understand how the office should support collaboration, focus, culture, learning and variation in attendance.
Implementation
Projects and follow-up
For organisations moving from decision to premises search, project delivery, office change management, interior concept and adjustments after move-in.

Short answers to core questions.
These are common questions that tend to arise early in workplace strategy and office development work.
What is workplace strategy?
Workplace strategy is a decision framework that connects organisational goals, work patterns and business needs with office layout, space, functions and workplace change.
When do you need a workplace analysis?
A workplace analysis is useful when an organisation is making decisions about relocation, refurbishment, hybrid working, office sizing, premises or major changes in ways of working.
How does hybrid working change the role of the office?
Hybrid working makes the purpose of the office more important. The office needs to support collaboration, focus, culture, learning and belonging in ways that complement remote work.
How do you know whether an office is sized correctly?
Good office sizing is based on attendance data, variation, peak demand, work patterns and the settings the organisation actually needs, not only average occupancy.
How is the knowledge hub connected to WeOffice services?
The knowledge hub helps you understand the questions. Our services help you turn that knowledge into analysis, strategy, decision support, premises decisions, implementation and follow-up.
