Occupancy Study – Insight into workplace occupancy and use
How is your workplace really being used?
WHAT IS IT?
Occupancy Study
The Occupancy Study goes beyond counting. We don’t just measure presence; we show what it reveals about behaviour, collaboration and strategy. This uncovers which patterns support or hinder your organization – and which choices are needed to balance space, culture and performance.

WHAT WE DO
- Multiple observation rounds per day, over several weeks
- Recording occupancy, activities, technology use and “signs of life”
- Fully anonymous, with no personal data collected

WHY IT MATTERS
- Realistic picture of under- and overuse
- Insights into dominant workstyles (individual, collaborative, recharge)
- Clear view of which spaces work and which don’t
- Linking data → behaviour → strategy for better decisions

Case example
At Atlassian Amsterdam, 69% of all activities observed were individual work – far higher than in other sites. Formal meeting rooms were often used by a single person, showing misalignment between design and actual use. These insights enabled targeted adjustments.
OUR APPROACH
- Observations over multiple weeks
- Analysis by workspace type and floor
- Dashboards and heatmaps visualizing patterns
- Recommendations linked to strategy and culture

What does it deliver?
Data-driven decisions on space and capacity
Stronger basis for real estate and design choices
Better balance between focus, collaboration and recharge
