Office Workspace Management Challenges

The Human Resource & Administrative staff is constantly struggling to manage and coordinate the allocation and management of office workspaces. Managing the workspace utilization for new recruits and internal employee movements and transfers can be time consuming and error-prone. This challenge manifolds when the organization spans multiple offices across different geographical locations.

Maintaining information of available and allocated workspaces, across different shifts is a big challenge. To an organization, underutilized workspace is a cost. If the workspaces are not optimally allocated, it creates a fragmented workspace. Reporting, analysis, allocations and approvals take a lot of time, adding to manual overheads and interventions. From an employee perspective, it causes a lot of dissatisfaction when they face confusions relative to the desk they are allocated when they join or they are internally transferred. The loss of work productivity due to such issues often goes unnoticed.

This calls for a good workspace management solution that can address these concerns and provide facility managers, HR personnel and system administrators a simple, real-time view of workspace utilization and an intuitive way to manage allocations.

In addition to simply managing the workspace allocations, there are several other aspects that are associated in the process. Normally aspects like Telephone Extensions, specific hardware, devices and several other such items are tied to a desk. A good workspace management solution provides an opportunity to easily manage such items when a desk is being allocated. When employees are transferred, there are certain items that they need to carry to the other seat and some items remain at the place they were originally seated. Keeping a tab of such inventory becomes easy with a good workspace management solution.
