Optimise the utilisation of office spaces to save costs

Due to hybrid work and shared desks, office spaces are on average 40% less utilized. Valuable space remains unused – creating significant savings potential.

icon-weg-orangeFreed-up areas can be terminated, sublet, or restructured. In our example with 300 employees, a 40% remote work rate results in 120 unused workstations.
At 12 sqm per workstation and € 20 per sqm, this leads to potential savings of € 345,600 per year or € 28,800 per month.

Sustainability

The eco- and cost-friendly solution

Besides rental costs, you can also optimise expenses for cleaning and food.

  • With the introduction of shared desks for 300 employees and a 40% reduction in office occupancy, average cleaning costs of around € 1/sqm result in potential savings of € 211,200 per year.
  • Energy costs also decrease with reduced space usage.
    Based on an average of € 20/sqm per year, this equals approximately € 0.09 per sqm per working day.
    With 3,000 sqm of office space, this amounts to savings of € 900 per month or € 10,800 per year.
  • Additional savings of around 10–20% can be achieved through demand-based catering and reduced food waste – which equals approximately € 13,500 per year for 300 employees.

Employee satisfaction

Foster a workplace where people stay

 

Flexible working models have been shown to boost employee satisfaction and loyalty to the company. Research suggests that employers who offer hybrid work models see reduced turnover rates.

Over a third of employees consider flexibility a key factor in their decision to remain in their roles (McKinsey, 2022). By facilitating hybrid working, companies are investing not only in productivity but also in fostering a sustainable corporate culture.
