Workplace Strategy
A well-thought-out workplace strategy supports the organization’s goals by facilitating and inspiring the right behaviors. The strategy intertwines the organizational and social work environment with the digital and physical work environments, based on analyses, workshops, and data collection.
In 1-2 months, we will develop a concrete strategy that strengthens collaboration, promotes flexibility, and lays the foundation for your workplace development.
What is your workplace strategy?
A well-thought-out workplace strategy supports the goals of the business by facilitating and triggering desirable behaviours amongst employees. The strategy should be detailed and concrete, and always based on the actual conditions of the organisation. The workplace strategy interweaves the organisational and social work environments with the digital and physical workplace.
Our workplace strategies typically include the following:
Generate insights of data
Collecting relevant and reliable data is crucial so as not to be misled by simple generalisations or misconceptions about how the different parts of the business work, both together or separately. Data collection is also a good method for creating participation and commitment in the development of workplace strategies. Over the years, we have created a selection of tools and methods that we constantly develop and refine. Our methods are based on science – either inspired by relevant research or through statistical analysis regarding our survey modules. Our tools and approach are proven, which gives us consistency in the process while always allowing for deviation based on our customers’ special conditions and needs. Our approach means that in 1-2 months we can develop and anchor a workplace strategy for an organisation with approximately 200 employees, that can form the basis for site adaptation or site search. Here are the key parts we look at in developing a workplace strategy.
Workshop with management board / Steering groups
Workplace analytics
Lectures and workshop with employees about ways of working
Focus group interviews
How it works!
Start with why!
The analysis begins with identifying the company's vision and ambition with the upcoming change.
Present state
In order to choose which path to take forward, we map out where the organisation stands today and how it works. Here we also identify the organisation's challenges regarding the workplace and working methods.
Identify gaps
Given the vision and the current situation, we identify what characterises the challenges and how they can be bridged.
Set target
Next, the vision gets broken down into achievable goals that take into account the conditions of the organisation regarding time for completion, financial resources and the burden on the organisation in general.
Development of a workplace strategy
Once we know where we're going, where we stand today, how far we can reach and have support behind the goal, we can develop a strategy that is implementable and grounded in reality.
Focus on growth!
After implementation, the workplace should enable you to focus on your core area better than before, and provide better conditions to realise your assignment!
From idea to execution
It is said that the devil is in the details, and that is something we agree with when it comes to office design and the implementation of new working methods. Seemingly small decisions can either hinder, facilitate, or encourage desired behaviour.
If you have developed a well-thought-out workplace strategy, you have come a long way. The next step is to implement the workplace strategy and thereby create a functional workspace that adds value.
In this process, we support you in going all the way to the goal.
From planning to project completion
Our work is based on the scientific framework of Workplace Adequacy™, neurodesign, and biophilia. Through this focus, and taking into account the workplace strategy, our design proposals and interior concepts aim to 1) contribute to well-being, work satisfaction, and meet employees’ needs for collaboration, creativity, and focused work, 2) support the organisation’s goals with the future office environment and highlight its identity.
We also help you develop construction documents, assess project risks, and assist you in procuring any other consultants if necessary. After that, we are available to project manage the construction project all the way to final inspection.
Change management
Our knowledge and experience of how people react to change when it comes to a new way of working also allows us to facilitate your journey with our change management services.
Together with you, we create a plan with various interventions that take into account your organization’s diversified needs based on the phase of change you are in. The specific services we may suggest vary depending on where you are in the change journey and what you want to achieve. However, the services may include setting up a communication plan, conducting risk and impact analyses, facilitating workshops for managers and employees, inspiring through lectures, or procuring training programs to develop the necessary skills within the organization.
